Eurasian Wigeon x Eurasian Teal

Fredrik sent me these fine images earlier this year and they appear to be Wigeon x Teal hybrids.  Given their location I assume they are Eurasian Wigeon x Eurasian Teal, though the resemblance to Steve's American Wigeon x Green-winged Teal hybrid is quite striking.

The two images here show different birds that were together.
