Eastern Spot-billed Duck
Anas zonorhyncha Swinhoe, 1866
Anatidae — Ducks, Geese, Swans
Eastern Spot-billed Duck, Anas zonorhyncha, is a duck in the Anatidae family that breeds in China and Southeast Asia. It was once treated as part of the Indian spot-billed duck, but is now recognised as a separate species. The bird takes its name from the yellow marking on the bill. In the breeding season it uses freshwater lakes and marshes in open country. It is migratory, with wintering birds recorded in southern China and possibly Southeast Asia.
