Meet the Wood Duck

Wood Duck hens are much less colorful. Except for a white belly, white throat, and white markings on their wings, they are mostly gray and brown. Wood Duck hens also have a bold white, teardrop-shaped patch around their eyes.

Juvenile (or young) Wood Ducks look fairly similar to hens. Juveniles, however, have spots on both their chests and bellies; whereas Wood Duck hens only have spotting on their chests.
