Anas platyrhynchos
This specimen is a juvenile male mallard, or wild, duck that is just beginning to have the back of its head turn an identifying green.
This year, the number of female chicks seems to greatly outnumber the number of male mallards that were hatched this season. This is one of the few that I have seen this summer.
