The cotton pygmy goose or cotton teal (Nettapus coromandelianus) is a small perching duck which breeds in Asia, Southeast Asia extending south and east to Queensland where they are sometimes called white-quilled pygmy goose. They are among the smallest waterfowl in the world and are found in small to large waterbodies with good aquatic vegetation.
The genus Nettapus was erected by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich von Brandt in 1836. [5] The name is from Ancient Greek nētta meaning "duck" and pous meaning "foot". It was thought that the type species , the African pygmy goose ( Nettapus auritus ), possessed the feet and body of a duck and the neck of a goose.
