The Chiloe Wigeon or Chil??e Wigeon (Anas sibilatrix) is one of three species of wigeon in the dabbling duck genus Anas. Unlike other wigeons, the sexes are similar (thought the male is often slightly brighter) and pairs are monogamous.

This duck is found in South America, on freshwater lakes, marshes, lagoons and slow flowing rivers.

Chil??e Wigeon (Anas sibilatrix)
(aka Southern Wigeon, Chilean Wigeon)
Chilean name: Pato real
Brazilian name: Marreca-oveira

The Chiloe Wigeon breeds from central Chile and Argentina southwards. Southernmost populations migrate to Paraguay, Uruguay and south Brazil during the austral winter.

It is a very attractive duck with the male showing iridescent green on the back of the crown and neck. His face is largely white and there is a small white patch below the ear-coverts. The female is similar but duller with less white and iridescent green on the head. Both sexes have a smallish blue-grey bill with a black tip.
