Thanks Liam.
Ava, it may be, but I think "Mulard", domestic Mallard x Muscovy hybrid is more likely.
I have added this to your mission. :)
Please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
Also, Liam, do you think this is a female Knob Duck? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/136...
