Characteristics
All ducks have long claws on their feet and a wide flat tail. The wild Duck is blackish, with large white wing patches. Domesticated birds may look similar; most are dark brown or black mixed with white, particularly on the head. Other colors such as lavender or all-white are also seen. Both sexes have a nude black-and-red or all-red face; the drake also has low erectile crest of feathers and caruncles at the base of the bill.
