I believe that this is a juvenile Chestnut Teal as he is lacking the distinctive metallic green head. He's certainly got the chest action going.

Great shot. It's a female chestnut teal. Only the males have the green head. Just needs a shadows lift or D&B. Nice work and great that you are enjoying your camera.I Shoot A Canon

Not convinced that it is a female Isac. I spent a long time searching for images of juvenile males, but came up empty. The only info that I could garnish was that the female is very similar to the Grey Teal. I could very well be wrong, it's happened once before
