"This entire article has been speculation, of course, and does not prove anything. But given the points covered here, the status of the Labrador Duck does seem rather doubtful. Fortunately, it will be quite easy to resolve this question by making genetic comparisons between museum specimens and the putative parents. If these specimens are hybrids, they would, presumably, be F₁ hybrids, which would make the analysis fairly straightforward"
You have to appreciate the honesty.
