Liam,when i said muscovy i want to say cayuga(my memory is not good for recent data :) i know it's the same duck that is in the link.in the ocasion you id it as a cayuga hibrid,now he is a little more coloured,the hibrid mix is more evident.i think i'am going this week there on porpouse to take a close up of this one,to se if with more photos you can take doubts,and thanks very much for you allways precious informations

If s/he is a Muscovy, s/he isn't pure. I could see it as a Cayuga x Muscovy hybrid (hen). I reiterate and say, this is an unusual duck. :)
