The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Aaron Brees. | Elimination of similar species: The combination of bill size, face pattern, and speculum pattern eliminates Green-winged Teal. Cinnamon Teal (very unlikely at this date) was eliminated on the basis of the dark eye, slightly smaller bill, and lack of brighter rufous or buffy color on the body. | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:42:00/11:05:00.
