The image is of a mandarin duck standing on a bed of fallen leaves. The duck is facing towards the right side of the image and its body is slightly angled towards the left side. It has a distinctive orange and white plumage with a black and white striped head and neck. Its wings are spread out and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. The leaves around the duck are brown and orange, and they are scattered around the ground. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area.
