White-faced whistling duck

South America·Bird

With a long neck and long legs, the white-faced whistling duck somewhat resembles a goose. Known for being noisy, aside from not looking like the typical duck, they don’t sound like one either. Rather than quacking, these birds have a distinct whistle.
