After searching through a ton of Black Ducks over the years, I finally found and documented this male Mottled Duck, a first for TN. It was feeding late one evening in a remote pool at Ensley Bottoms and was seen and photographed again a couple of days later by Mike Todd and Don Manning. Since this bird, I've photographed 4 others in the state including a pair at Ensley and Mike photographed a pair in Eagle Creek near Paris Landing. "Seek and yee shall find."
