The Eurasian teal (Anas crecca), common teal, or Eurasian green-winged teal is a common and widespread duck that breeds in temperate Eurosiberia and migrates south in winter. [2] The Eurasian teal is often called simply the teal due to being the only one of these small dabbling ducks in much of its range. [ 3 ]
[3] [4] The naturalist Joseph Banks had provided Latham with a water-colour drawing of the teal by Georg Forster who had accompanied James Cook on his second voyage to the Pacific Ocean. His picture was drawn in 1773 at the Cape of Good Hope. This picture is now the holotype for the species and is held by the Natural History Museum in London. [5]
The green-winged teal (Anas carolinensis) or American teal is a common and widespread duck that breeds in the northern areas of North America except on the Aleutian Islands. It was considered conspecific with the Eurasian teal ( A. crecca ) for some time, but the two have since been split into separate species.
Teal is a greenish-blue color. Its name comes from that of a bird—the Eurasian teal (Anas crecca)—which presents a similarly colored stripe on its head. The word is often used colloquially to refer to shades of cyan in general. It can be created by mixing cyan into a green base, or deepened as needed with black or gray. [2]

I've noticed that the Green-winged Teal has been merged in with the Eurasian Teal into the same species, Anas crecca, or Green-winged Teal. The Audubon Society and Cornell both agree on this, and so do other bird-related websites. So, the scientific name for this species should be changed and the information on the two pages should be merged ...
