The ruddy shelduck or Brahminy duck is a waterfowl of the duck family, which has a characteristic orange-brown plumage, while the head has a lighter color than the similar piebald. Brahminy ducks usually live in pairs or small groups, much less often in a large flock. But during molting and wintering, they can gather in large groups on lakes or slow rivers.
