Waterfowl ID - This one has me stumped!

[seeth07]

I can't figure out what kind of waterfowl this is. I've looked at waterfowl around the world and I'm coming up empty. Is it a domestic variation of some kind?

 

[Nick87]

It's a duck.

You asked...

 

[MThuntr]

Is that an immature black duck? Possibly hybridized with a domestic duck?

 

[SD_Prairie_Goat]

My money is on a duck hybrid. What the base species not sure, black duck as suggested is a good start. Maybe mallard in there for the green on the wings?

 

[AlaskaHunter]

My guess is a domestic variety or hybrid.
No well-defined speculum.
A Mule Duck is a Mallard x Muscovy Duck

@seeth07 out there flock shooting someone's 4H project.

Good on ya!

 

[Gerald Martin]

I was going to guess Muscovy/mallard hybrid.

 

[seeth07]

So my mind went to hybrid as well but I couldn't place the green colors on the wings, back and tail nor the beak.

I don't really see the mallard in it but maybe. The photo from @AlaskaHunter is a close resemblance but not quite.

That was the Sears catalog for me, as long as it had a women's underwear section.
