Perfect match to working knowledge of the species, but still need to analyse spectrograms precisely.
Confidence statement
High confidence since this is a well-known vocalisation also given during the day.

Pacific Black Duck WINGBEATS Strongly supported
Evidence for identification
Until we learn how to tell these conclusively, we are only accepting wingbeats where a call is also heard and unambiguously associated with the wingbeats.
Confidence statement
High confidence since our records are only those in context with a call.
Similar species / confusion risks
Many potential confusion species until we nail down how to separate wingbeats from recordings alone.
