White-faced duck

This long-necked, dark brown duck with a white face and greyish-black bill has a wide distribution ranging from tropical America to Africa, Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. It is found mainly on inland waters in savanna and grassland regions, and in southern Africa is considered one of the most common ducks in these regions. It feeds both in the water (mainly on aquatic vegetation and seeds), and on land (mainly on grass seeds, including seeds from cultivated crops such as maize and sorghum). Small amounts of invertebrates are also eaten (molluscs and insects).
