Does anyone keep "Storm" wigeon?

[Dr. Todd]

I'm curious to know if anyone keeps the color variant of American Wigeon called the 'Storm Wigeon' in which the males have very pale facial patterns like the bird pictured below:

For those not familiar with the species, the drakes usually look like this:

We keep the Blonde phase but I don't know of anyone who has the storm phase.

From what I know, which isn't much, the Storm Wigeon isn't a phase, its coloring that is unique to that bird. They are not common enough to do research on whether or not Storm Wigeon have offspring with the same coloration. If there are some in captivity and this knowledge is to be had, I would love to know it too! But thats what I believe! Good luck and let us know if you find one! I would be interested in purchasing a pair if it works out...
