The White-cheeked Pintail is a very distinctive duck with its white cheeks, throat, and tail contrasting with its brown body. The bill is dark with red sides at the base. In flight shows pale brown and green patches on the wings. Both sexes similar. Found in both fresh and saline wetlands. eBird
We had observed White-cheeked Pintail on other Caribbean Islands however our guide was extremely excited this year as they seemed to be everywhere in Cuba. He described it as the absolutely best year ever for White-cheeked Pintail.
