DUCK WITH A DIFFERENCE

Again from my Salini Walk.
As I walked along the channel that surrounds the saltpans, I saw this duck with colours and markings completely different to those we are used to here. It looked at me as if saying “have you never seen a duck before?” and continued on it way, paddling happily along. I tried to google it but got no result. I liked its colours and face markings and considered it worth sharing.
Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's.
Lovely shot of this beautiful duck. I am sure someone will be able to identify it. Maybe it is a cross breed ;-)

I have found that now there are species that are crossbreeds! Designs and colours that belong to no others!

It looks like a Mallard to me.

Looks like a mallard crossbreed. or a 'Bitsa' as we call them in Australia, bitsa this and bitsa that, ha ha.

Amused by all the comments above! Maybe you should contact the RSPB to ask if they can help identify it!

Nice find! Pretty duck, my guess is a hybrid of some sort but of course I am not at all familiar with the ducks in your area.
