I suspect that we are going to have a whale of a time working this one out.

It looks like feathers to me.

I'd guess wood duck feather.

 

[jeffnles1]

looks like wing and flank feathers of some duck, perhaps gadwall? Interesting shot.

Goose feather

Dear guys,
You have solved the mystery pretty fast. This is mallard feather. Anas platyrhynchos. I tried the minimal focus distance of my lens to create an abstract look.
Thanks for watching and your time.
