White-backed Duck: Thalassornis leuconotus
This species occurs sporadically in central, coastal and north-eastern Namibian wetlands, including brackish lagoons, dams and tropical swamps. There are no records of large concentrations anywhere in Namibia, with the largest lock reported as 40 birds from the ephemeral Lake Oponono north of Etosha Pan; scattered birds are found on large inland dams throughout Namibia.
