TheΒ white-winged duckΒ orΒ white-winged wood duckΒ (Asarcornis scutulata) is a large species ofΒ duck, formerly placed in theΒ genusΒ CairinaΒ with theΒ Muscovy duckΒ (Cairina moschata) and allied with theΒ dabbling ducks. However,Β mtDNAΒ cytochromeΒ bΒ andΒ NADH dehydrogenaseΒ subunitΒ 2Β sequenceΒ analysis indicate that theΒ anatomicalΒ similarity to the Muscovy duck is deceiving and that the species is appropriately placed in aΒ monotypicΒ genus, asΒ Asarcornis scutulata, which is evolutionarily closer to theΒ redheadΒ (Aythya americana, one of theΒ diving ducks).
