[Mnbird] Mallard or Gadwall?

The white on the tail indicates hen mallard to me. I wish I could see the bill better.

Please look at the far right.   I've included the Canvasback, Ring-neck, and L. Scaup for size comparisons.  I'm calling her a Mallard for now, but the bright orange bill is suspicious, plus I think she's a bit small.[gadwall_maybe.jpg<cid:5Z8QG9DHVIU4.VXNJPZY5FHFS at luweb01oc>]
