Cairina moschata
This is a domestic Muscovy duck. They are heavier than the wild Muscovy and show patches of white on head and body and redder face.

This duck is too heavy to fly. But, apparently one likes to swing on the swing.

Stunning portrait in the first photo. This spotting should probably go in the captive animals mission as these are domestic ducks.
I love the colors!
