The trailing legs and rounded wings of these slow flying ducks makes them look bigger than they are.
Both species, Fulvous and Black-bellied, are primarily Mexican. In the U.S., the black-bellied is found only in south Texas and Louisiana. The fulvous also occurs there and in Florida with occasional stragglers further north along the both coast and the Mississippi valley. The fulvous is more common of the two species in the U.S.

I'm not sure I have ever seen one... Never had an interest in bird watching.
