Thanks for the comment and the help LauraMaria :)
It looks like a Muscovy duck, or at least the result of a cross-breed with a Muscovy duck! The wiki article doesn't have good photos, but if you search for it in Google Images you'll find some that look more like this duck :) Nice portrait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscovy_Duc...
