    The Mariana mallard was a resident allopatric population – in most respects a good species – apparently initially derived from mallard-Pacific black duck hybrids; [139] it became extinct in the late 20th century. [140] The Laysan duck is an insular relative of the mallard, with a very small and fluctuating population.

  3. Mallard complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallard_complex

    The retention of ancestral genetic variation can be caused by incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and introgression after secondary contact. These two factors can cause genetic variation to be shared between closely related species which is possibly why an American black duck or a Mottled duck (Anas fulvigula) may have notable white on its speculum or a Mexican duck may have flecks of green.

  7. Mottled duck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mottled_Duck

    In flight, the lack of a white border to the speculum is a key difference. The American black duck is darker than most mottled ducks, and its wing-patch is more purple than blue. The behaviour and voice are the same as the mallard. Mottled ducks feed by dabbling in shallow water, and grazing on land.
