The mottled duck (Anas fulvigula)[note 1] or mottled mallard is a medium-sized species of dabbling duck. It is intermediate in appearance between the female mallard and the American black duck. It is closely related to those species, and is sometimes erroneously considered a subspecies of the former.
Along the Gulf of Mexico coast, the mottled duck is one of the most frequently banded waterfowl. This is due in part to the fact that it is mostly non-migratory.[3] Approximately one out of every 20 mottled ducks is banded, making it an extremely prized and sought after bird among hunters.
