Wigeon (possible hybrid)

'This is (probably) the same bird that has been in the Ouse Fen / Berry Lagoon area for the past couple of winters. As you can see, it has extensive green sides to the head, paler areas on the cheeks, and a rather pale forehead flash. However, I can't see any other pro-American features. An odd Eurasian Wigeon or a second generation hybrid?' RT
