Bosque Duck Butt

I had to get help to ID this cutie, so let's see how many can make my ID talents look bad.

This was taken on the Farm Loop road at Bosque.

10D, 500/4 L IS, ISO 400 -1/3

I'm not willing to embarass myself with a bad guess. This waterfowl is awfully muddy. Cool shot. 8)

Jim, I'm not sure if I'd leave that little thing on the left in the photo, neat Butt shot. :)

Looks like something funky is going on with the colours there. Funny shot though.

Nice shot....not just any butt shot but a muddy butt shot. No guess on this one but Mike may be on to it.

I think Mike is right. When you asked me what duck it was I got my brain locked on ducks but this is a Coot not a duck at all!
