The Mexican Duck is found mainly in Mexico. It uses temporary wetlands during the rainy season and agricultural areas around water in the dry season.
It is brown overall; males tend to show a cinnamon tone, while females have paler buff-colored areas.
It uses temporary wetlands formed in the rainy season and waters near agricultural land in the dry season.
In Mexico, it breeds during the June–October rainy season, then forms larger flocks as the dry season advances and seasonal wetlands dry.
