This bird had uniformly-colored sides of a grayish tinted copper color. This is a color that seems intermediate between Eurasian and American. Note that a molting Eurasian Wigeon should show mottled sides with patches of clean gray mixed with patches of clean chestnut. This bird also had a green eye patch on its reddish head. Although some Eurasian Wigeons can show a little green around the eye, this bird's eye patch was much more extensive, more in line with what an American Wigeon would show. All told, these marks seem to clearly add up to a hybrid bird. I couldn't find any other notable wigeons.
