Spotted
The Sula Teal is a relatively small dabbling duck found in parts of Indonesia. It's often associated with freshwater wetlands and is known for its somewhat plain, cryptic plumage.
Where to spot
Freshwater lakes, marshes, and ponds primarily on the Sula Islands and potentially other eastern Indonesian islands.
How to spot
Look for a small, dull brown duck with a pale throat and a white patch near the bill (less prominent than Andaman Teal). Pay attention to subtle plumage nuances and vocalizations to distinguish it from other small ducks in the region.
When to spot
Observable year-round within its localized Indonesian range. Like most dabbling ducks, it is often more active and easily seen during the calmer parts of the day, such as dawn and dusk.
This species was formerly considered part of the Sunda Teal complex, but recent taxonomic revisions recognize it as a distinct species based on genetic and morphological differences.
