Andean Goose

Andean Goose - Chloephaga melanoptera


Sightings: 

Several places in the Atacama Desert area of northern Chile in December 2016.

Notes: 

A large goose, with the male having quite a thick neck.  Seen in wetlands and near saltpans.



I think this is the female as it has more brown on the back than a male.
