The bill is large and of much the same 

 shape as that of the domestic Duck. 



When swimming, the Indian Wood- 

 Duck should be easily recognisable by 

 its white head, white upper wing-coverts 

 and dark body-plumage. These Ducks 

 may not be so rare as is generally imagined, 

 but they appear to frequent forests, where 

 few sportsmen would expect to find 

 Ducks.
