Anas gibberifrons (Sunda Teal)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Sunda teal (Anas gibberifrons), also known as the Bebek cokelat, is a dabbling duck found in open wetlands in Indonesia. The species formerly included the Andaman teal Anas albogularis and the grey teal, Anas gracilis as subspecies, but is currently considered monotypic. The Sunda teal nests near its favoured freshwater lakes and marshes, usually on the ground, but also in tree holes or rabbit burrows. This is a vocal duck, especially at night. The male gives a soft preep, and the female has a loud quack.
