Anas platyrhynchos domesticus
Some kinda hybrid, or albino? Flocking with mallards, but larger. Looked through Sibley's Guide to Western N.A., came up empty handed. Any clues?
Nice pic! I would say its just a large leucistic mallard judging by the different color head...but that's a guess. This is what makes project Noah so great!
i'm empty on this one too... thought immature shelduck of sorts, but nothing to confirm... may be hypomelanistic?
