Old Female

Female? whats with the green in the head, and partially light colored ring around the neck? But a bill that looks like a hen. can someone explain that to me?

 

[rflagg2]

She doesn't really have a ring around her neck and just recently she has been getting those green feathers and it also depends when the light hits them.

Green feathers..... can develop with age. Some females have subtle white ring around the neck.

Ducks can sort of go though menopause - the hormones change, they'll stop laying eggs, and sometimes they'll develop full-on male plumage, drake curl and all. But, they're still female.
