It was in the company of what appeared to be a female Blue-winged Teal. The feathering at the base of the bill was almost white, and more extensive, when compared to the Cinnamon Teal females in the area and it appeared to have more of an eyeline. "Guilt by association" is probably the best ID in this case. I left the area and walked over to Shoreline Lake to look at the Barrows Golden Eyes. Found 2 females and what looked like a first winter male. I returned to the area where I found the Blue-winged Teals around 6 PM to see if I could re-find them . Unfortunately they were nowhere to be found. Instead I found an Eurasian Teal! It was nice because there was a Green-winged Teal in the same scope view for comparison. Also the Green-winged Teal male had a female in his company so he was making gestures at the Eurasian Teal, like stay away from my female! Nice to see four Teal species on lazy "summer" evening!
