==Description==

The female plumage was grey. Although weakly patterned, the pattern was scoter-like. The male's plumage was black and white in an eider-like pattern, but the wings were entirely white except for the primaries. The [[trachea]] of the male was scoter-like. An expansion of the tracheal tube occurred at the anterior end, and two enlargements (as opposed to one enlargement as seen in scoters) were near the middle of the tube. The bulla was bony and round, puffing out from the left side. This asymmetrical and osseus bulla was unlike that of scoters; this bulla was similar to eiders and harlequin duck's bullae. The Labrador duck has been considered the most enigmatic of all North American birds.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Johnsgard|first1=Paul|title=Handbook of Waterfowl Behavior: Tribe Mergini (Sea Ducks)|url=http://works.bepress.com/paul_johnsgard/1|access-date=24 October 2014|archive-date=8 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161108133806/https://works.bepress.com/paul_johnsgard/1/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Labrador duck had an oblong head with small, beady eyes. Its bill was almost as long as its head. The body was short and depressed with short, strong feet that were far behind the body. The feathers were small and the tail was short and rounded. The Labrador duck belongs to a monotypic genus.<ref>"Recently Extinct Animals - Species Info - Labrador Duck."
