Went out in search of pheasants, but harvested this nice duck instead with the old Purdey. It was a long 40yd shot with the back trigger, full choke throwing 1 1/16 oz #5s RST.

Nice gun Owen. I'm surprised the mallard drake has not finished his molt yet. The ones I shot in Saskatchewan a couple of weeks ago were still in their brown phase as well...Geo

Hens bills are a bit more orangeish. I dont see any molting colors on her head either. The speculum looks very henish too.

It really does look like a hen, but the eclipse plumage confuses me. Seems late though for a mallard drake to be in eclipse.
