Clip the tongue and send it to DuckDNA. You will have your answer.

It's a cousin of the Mottled Duck and it's non-migratory.

It's got at least one of its back toes...cutting the already low, low chance that it's a tamie in half.

i have been told that all pen raised mallards are not clipped.
from a "reliable" source.

Its a cousin of the mottled duck only in the sense that its a cousin of every duck in the mallard complex.
