Northern Pintail at Erskine Lakes, Mandurah, WA

As Frank’s posting was tentative, having seen a photograph, I have changed the heading to reflect confidence in the identification. John Graff & Greg Howell’s bird is an adult FEMALE Northern Pintail. Being a female it will not be as obvious as a male would be.
