(aka Anas versicolor)
The Silver Teal is distributed from the extreme south of Bolivia to Tierra del Fuego. It is partially migratory with some of the southernmost birds moving north to southern Brazil in the austral winter while there is also a resident breeding population in southern Brazil. See the distribution map at xeno-canto.
The black cap extends below the eye and the bill is blue with a yellow base. In flight one can see the green speculum with white borders.
Some authorities lump this species with Puna Teal S. puna.
