The '''cinnamon teal''' ('''''Spatula cyanoptera''''') is a [[species]] of [[duck]] found in western [[North America|North]] and [[South America]]. It is a small [[dabbling duck]], with bright reddish plumage on the male and duller brown plumage on the female. It lives in [[marshes]] and [[ponds]], and feeds mostly on plants. The cinnamon teal duck is closely related to the north american dabbling duck.(Wilson et al.)
