It is strongly [[bird migration|migratory]] and winters south of its breeding range to the [[equator]]. Unusually for a bird with such a large range, it has no geographical subspecies if the possibly conspecific Eaton's Pintail is considered to be a separate species. {{commons|Anas acuta}} {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Ducks]]
