The good description and images could lead me to no other identification conclusion than a male Cinnamon Teal.

I'm still convinced.

Actually had to stew on this one a bit as the observer didn’t discuss the potential of an eclipse/immature male Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) which could show chestnut on the sides while retaining a dark chest and brownish head; photos not necessarily diagnostic in this case. However, considering the relative size, and the observer’s experience, I’m sure this was an early male Cinnamon Teal (A. cyanoptera).

Hardy--Reject, specific identification not established

The photos appear to be of a SY male molting into A1. I am bothered by the white patch on the flank towards the tail - though a hybrid would be less likely, I don't think these photos can rule out the possibility.

Same comments as first round.

Darren Clark--Accept

The date is a bit early, but not by far and the photos and description are good.

Darren Clark--Accept

The photos and description are good. I don't really see the light-colored patch.

I agree with the analysis

chuck trost--Reject, specific identification not established

Hardy is right, there sees to be a white patch near the tail, which may mean a hybrid.
