Chilean pintail Chilean pintail The Chilean pintail ("Anas georgica spinicauda"), also known as the golden peck duck or brown pintail, is a subspecies of the yellow-billed pintail ("Anas georgica"), a duck in the dabbling duck subfamily Anatinae. Its local names are "pato jergón grande", "pato maicero" and "pato piquidorado" in Spanish, and "marreca-parda" or "marreca-danada" in Portuguese. The Chilean pintail is one of three subspecies of the yellow-billed pintail, and by far the most numerous and widespread. It is found throughout much of South America from extreme southern Colombia southwards to Tierra del Fuego, as well as in the Falkland Islands. The
Continent Vespucci's name in 1502 or 1503, although it seems that it had additions or alterations by another writer. Regardless of who penned the words, "Mundus Novus" credited Vespucci with saying, "I have discovered a continent in those southern regions that is inhabited by more numerous people and animals than our Europe, or Asia or Africa", the first known explicit identification of part of the Americas as a continent like the other three. Within a few years, the name "New World" began appearing as a name for South America on world maps, such as the Oliveriana (Pesaro) map of around 1504–1505.
