A male mallard duck in flight against a muted sky, rendered in loose watercolor strokes showing the bird's distinctive green head, yellow bill, brown chest, and white neck ring. The duck's wings are fully extended in a dynamic flying position, with individual feathers visible in varying shades of brown and gray. Scattered fall leaves in red and orange tones drift through the air around the duck, suggesting an autumn hunting season setting. The background features soft washes of blue-gray clouds with touches of pale yellow breaking through. Traditional watercolor illustration with loose brushstrokes and translucent paint layers on textured paper.
