Riva,

Your first post on this sounded like a Nor. Pintail to me as well, especially the description of the neck, but I dismissed that when you described it as "goose sized" Definitely not a description for a pintail. But in response to your latest post, I know that pintails often loose their "pin" tail, so possibly you did have one, just minus it's nameplate. I recall scratching my head over a female pheasant once that had lost it's tail feathers somewhere. Funny how we get so used to some fieldmarks!

At first we thought Northern Pintail too but there was no pintail at all!
