Slaty brown duck, with the bill red; at first sight very similar to 
P. Bahamensis—the white markings on the throat and cheeks are, 
however, more extensive, and the bird altogether rather larger; the 
tertiaries and scapulars, instead of being elongate as in Bahamensis, 
are broad and short; the tail has all the feathers of equal length; 
the wing-spot is white, bounded posteriorly with buff.
