Kopfstudie Augenbrauenente Weibchen der Stockente, eine der Arten, mit der die Augenbrauenente verwechselt werden kann Die Augenbrauenente (Anas superciliosa) ist ein Entenvogel, der zu den Schwimmenten gerechnet wird. Von der Aufteilung dieser Art in drei Unterarten hat man sich mittlerweile wieder getrennt. DNA-Untersuchungen haben nahegelegt, dass zwischen den früher beschriebenen drei Unterarten kein ausreichender Unterschied besteht, um eine Aufteilung in Unterarten zu rechtfertigen. Die Art kommt ausschließlich in Australasien vor. Die IUCN stuft die Art als nicht gefährdet (least concern) ein.
