Hasan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Came across this weird looking duck which I presume is a Black Duck. What's throwing me for a loop, however, is the lack of any sort of facial contrast or distinction between the head and the body. There's also this weird light color in front of the bill. If it's a black duck, what's its age/sex and what's with the lack of contrast? Edited February 16, 2021 by Hasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colton V Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Could it be a domestic mallard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Shank Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Maybe a weird colored American black Duck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson Shank Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) That last photo looks even more like an American Black Duck. Some are extra black.
