Thanks Manuelap1 and Luciav1, it is a beautiful duck. My son loves to count them every time we pass the place.

Thanks DanielePralong, you are right. I wasn't sure before, I knew the mallard has a white band around its neck and this one has not. Thanks again for ID.

Hi Sukesih! This is not a mallard but a chestnut teal, a dabbling duck found in southern Australia. A beautiful duck!
