This Coot just appeared out of nowhere a few days ago, I have no idea how it got there, but there's only one here.

Hey guys, I need help identifying it, I thinks it's a kind of duck. If u can't tell from the picture it's got a white beak with a black ring on the tip, bright red eyes, puffy feathered head, and black body.
