RE: Help Identify Please
it's obviously a mallard hybrid... The other species involved escapes me though. You've got to find something that'll fly with mallards, but has a white chest and brown body. Muscovy is my guess.

maybe a tame duck, or a wild and a tame got together, we see them once in awhile, not quite like that but my buddy has 2 ducks mounted that have green heads and are almost completely white.. Him and another guy seen them on a pond and set on it the next day and killed both...Cool pic though..

I'm no expert....but there's a fella on here who is. But I would guess that if it had any muscovy in it, then it would probably have some of the red, turkey looking skin on its head.
I think its a mallard and standard issue white farm Aflac duck mix.

This is another classic mallard x black east indies hybrid. A black east indies as I stated in the other thread on hybrids is a black sport originally created by people. The white of varying amounts on the neckand the rust colored sides are usually not seen until the second cross back to a pure mallard.

My guess is that it is either a hybrid or could of had a genetic mutation from inbreeding like some deer that are albino or marble collored.
If it is a hybrid mallard-moscovy mix, of all the better looking ducks there are why did it have to choose the ugliest.
It would be kind of neat if ducks like pintails, wood ducks, and other awsome looking species could cross breed to create a duck that would be cool to shoot. Or if ducks and geese could cross breed to make ducks bigger to make for an easier target.-lol
