Lovely image what gorgeous colours and love the yellow ring around her eye. Could it be a female wood duck?

@onewing Thank you for your lovely comments and congrats on the Trending Page its a first, you got it right female Wood Duck had to check it on the internet, its from North America, it may have escaped from a nature reserve or zoo, it only had little wings so did not fly all the way, lol;)
