ssjacks1515, please make another spotting with this same picture and identify the white ducks: Pekin ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domestica). On PN, each spotting is of one organism only.

Hi ssjacks1515! You have various mallards and related ducks here: the 2 green-headed ducks are mallard drakes, the 2 pure white ones are pekin ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domestica, the domesticated form of the mallard), and the other remaining two hybrids (the one in the middle being a female).
