White-faced Duck (Dendrosygna viduata)

Found throughout Africa, south of the Sahara, except a few drier areas like Namibia and Northern Cape province of South Africa.

Chestnut brown color with diagnostic white face and they stand very erect. They also have fine barred flanks, which can only be seen close-up.

Beautiful duck and at the time we saw them, we also saw a little meet and greet as 2 ducks met up with a third.

Unfortunately I was not able to get nice pics on the point and shoot when I saw one on the water, but still makes a nice scene.
