Plumed whistling duck : ウィキペディア英語版 | Plumed whistling duck
The plumed whistling duck (''Dendrocygna eytoni''), also called the grass whistle duck, is a whistling duck that breeds in New Guinea and Australia. It is a predominantly brown-coloured duck with a long neck and characteristic plumes arising from its flanks. The sexes are similar in appearance. ==Taxonomy== Described by English naturalist Thomas Campbell Eyton in 1838, its specific epithet honours its namer. Its generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek terms ''dendron'' "tree", and ''kuknos'' (via Latin ''cygnus'') "swan". Alternate common names include; Eyton's plumed, red-legged or whistling tree-duck, and grey or red-legged whistler.
