I've possibly seen a Chestnut teal at Playhouse ponds, near Mapua.
It was like a dark brown to chestnut grey teal with green and white wingbars , the bird was associating with Grey Teal
Thanks Wrybill/Saul Ward

Hi Saul,
Did your Chestnut Teal look like either one of these two ducks ?

The bird on the left, but the plumage was much darker
