Brazilian Teals are actually more closely related to the Crested Duck of Patagonia than they are to teals but for some reason they are still lumped closely to teals in the taxonomic sequence. I have only seen one so far, at Pousada Aguape in the southern Pantanal region of Brazil. Here it is stretching its wing and showing off the colorful wing panels. It is the only one in the Amazonetta genus.
