The Brown Teal (Anas chlorotis) or New Zealand Teal is a species of dabbling duck of the genus Anas. The Maori name for it is Pateke. It was considered to be conspecific with the flightless Auckland and Campbell Teals in Anas aucklandica; the name Brown Teal was applied to that entire taxon. The Brown Teal has since been split recognizing that the insular A. aucklandica and A. nesiotis are good species.
