Andaman Teal (Anas albogularis)
About the Andaman Teal
The Andaman teal (Anas albogularis) is a species of duck endemic to the Andaman archipelago in the Bay of Bengal. The species was formerly considered as a subspecies of the Sunda teal. The first formal description of the Andaman teal was by the English ornithologist Allan Octavian Hume in 1873 under the binomial name Mareca albogularis. It is now placed with many other dabbling ducks in the genus Anas. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the Sunda teal (Anas gibberifrons) that is found in Indonesia. The species is dark brown with buffy markings. The face and throat are pale with a white ring around the eye. The bill is bluish grey and the iris is red.
