Pekin or Long Island Duck

Anas platyrhynchos domestica

Notes:

"In 1873 nine ducks were exported from China to Long Island, New York in the United States and the animals and their meat are sometimes referred to as "Long Island duckling".[5][unreliable source?] It is the most popular commercial duck breed in the United States, although some farming has since relocated to Indiana from Suffolk County, New York. Around 95% of duck meat consumed in the United States is Pekin duck."(wikipedia)
