She's a large saw-billed duck, with mottled grey plumage on her back and overwings, a peachy-cream belly, and a russet brown head that ends sharply at a pale collar. She has long, shaggy russet plumes at the back of her head, and a white chin patch. Her long thin bill and her legs and feet are red.
