[Tweeters] Eurasian Green-winged Teal? (American-Eurasian intergrade?) at Magnuson Park

[Rick Hibpshman]

I found a male green-winged teal in the wetlands of Magnuson Park that was lacking the white breast stripe.  I could not see the lower scapular stripe.  Not sure if the other characteristics indicate Eurasian green-winged teal  (Anas crecca crecca)or an intergrade American/Eurasian or just a plain American green-winged teal (Anas crecca carolinensis).  Comments would be welcome.
