Magpie Duck Colour of Wing

[AussieQld]

Hello. I am in Australia where a small number of breeders are trying to recreate the Magpie Duck. I am looking for photos of the top and the bottom of the wing.

In our standard it says that the primary and secondaries are white. That's all the detail we have. It would be fantastic to see what the wing looks like and I am hoping there may be breeders of Magpies overseas that are able to share photos of their birds to help us. I know breeding them is hard and that most birds would not be to standard. It would still be great to see what they look like in more detail than we can extract from the standard. Top down pictures of the back would also be really helpful.

Thank you if you have the time to help out.

Hmmm.. my standard says this for the description of the Magpie back: Black from the juncture of wing-bows and body, through the tail; extending over the wing, suggesting a heart-shape when viewed from above.

There is a person on this thread who has magpies.

You could try private messaging them for some answers.

I myself have magpies, though I would hardly call any of my birds show worthy.
