The Crested Duck (Lophonetta specularioides) is a species of duck native to South America, the only member of the monotypic (one single species) genus Lophonetta.
It is sometimes included in Anas, but it belongs to a South American clade that diverged early in dabbling duck evolution (Johnson & Sorenson, 1999).
