The Philippine duck (Anas luzonica) is endemic to the Philippines and looks like the tropical version of the mallard – they are closely related not only in appearance but also in lifestyles. Both the female and male duck looks the same. As few as 5,000 may remain. Overhunting and habitat loss has contributed to its decline. It has a black crown, nape and eye stripe, with a cinnamon head and neck. Rest of body is greyish brown with a bright green speculum. Its legs are greyish brown, and its bill is blue grey. It can live in freshwater or saltwater habitats and eats shrimp, fish, insects, and vegetation.
