Description
The Yellow-billed Pintail has a brown head and neck. The bill is yellow with a black tip and a black stripe down the middle. The tail is brownish and pointed. The upper wing is grayish-brown, and the secondaries are blackish-green. The rest of the body is buffish brown with varying size black spots. The species is sometimes confused with Yellow-billed Teal, but can be differentiated by the yellow stripes on its bill, its larger size and its tendency not to form large groups.
