Editing Pink-eared duck (section)

== Description ==
The pink-eared duck has a large spatulate bill like the [[Australasian shoveler]], but is smaller at 38–40&nbsp;cm length. Its brown back and crown, black and white barred sides and black eye patches on its otherwise white face make this [[bird]] unmistakable. Juveniles are slightly duller, but otherwise all plumages are similar. Its vernacular name refers to a pink spot in the corner formed by the black head pattern; it is only noticeable at close distance however, making the seldom-used Australian name of '''zebra duck''' more appropriate.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Marchant |first=Stephen |title=Handbook of Australian, New Zealand [and] Antarctic birds |last2=Higgins |first2=Peter Jeffrey |date=1990 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-553244-9 |location=Melbourne}}</ref>
