(1967). Vergleichend morphologische Untersuchungen an Einzelknochen des postcranialen Skelettes in Mitteleuropa vorkommender Enten, Halbganse und Sager. It is in German, as you probably noticed with the title.

I have Ericson’s book on the eider but I was wondering if there were any other studies worth looking at. Also does anyone confidently identify dabbling vs sea-duck/diving or Mallard vs Eider, and if so on which elements? I attempted but saw too much variation to be confident enough but I may have missed the obvious for someone highly experienced with ducks.
