This species is widespread across South America but also Africa with two sub-species corresponding to the continent they are on. I saw the South American sub-species while on my second trip to Brazil. They are in the same genus (Netta) as the Red-crested Pochard which I have seen in Europe, but they look completely different. Oddly enough, they are in a different genus than the Common Pochard which it looks closer to.
