ANATIDAE

Taxonomy within this large family is somewhat unsettled, mainly relative to incomplete understanding of placement within sub-families and tribes. Taxonomy followed by AOU (1998) is used here, including that proposed by Livezey (1991) for the tribe Anatini, suface-feeding, or dabbling, ducks, with some modifications as indicated within species accounts. Subfamiles are Dendrocygninae Whistling-ducks, Anserinae Geese and Swans (including tribes Anserini True Geese and Cygnini Swans), Tadorninae Shelducks, and Anatinae True Ducks (including tribes Anatini Surface-feeding ducks, Aythyini Pochards, Mergini Sea-ducks and Mergansers, and Oxyurini Stiff-tailed ducks).

This species and the next 5, the "Australasian Teal", were discussed by Kennedy and Spencer (2000), who suggested that A. gracilis and A. castanea are sister species sharing a common ancestor with the NZ species, the latter occupying the NZ region prior to divergence of castanea and gracilis. Analysis of genetic variation supports specific status of this and the next 2 species (Daugherty et al 1999; Kennedy and Spencer 2000).

These subspecies are not currently recognized, however. Palmer (1976) cites several banding recs indicating movement between North America and east Asia.
