The wigeons are dabbling ducks in the genus Anas. There are three extant species: the Eurasian Wigeon (Anas penelope), the American Wigeon (A. americana) and the ChiloƩ Wigeon (A. sibilatrix). A fourth species, the Amsterdam Island Duck (Anas marecula), is believed to have become extinct around 1800.
