Teal are supposed to look like this:

 Blue winged. Green winged. Cinnamon. Except when they look like this. It doesn’t really look like anything. Once in a while juvenile blue-winged or cinnamon teal come out this pale straw color.  Not very often; this is the first one I’ve seen.  Can’t tell from the color which one it is.  The size of the bill suggests cinnamon, but it was hanging out with a bunch of blue-winged.
