geoffclarke Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I want to say it's partly Common Goldeneye with that bill pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcoot Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Looks like a domestic mallard. They come in all kinds of weird shapes and sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) I agree it looks like a domestic Mallard, but that bill does look rather goldeneye-like. Edited December 11, 2018 by akiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I’d say a Blue Swedish(domestic Mallard) also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millipede Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I used to know a guy online that could look at a bird like this and tell you what it was. The color is definitely "blue" but it's not swedish. I tried looking up hybrids as a domestic x wild hybrid happen. There is something about it that looks kind of goldeneye-ish... Could be a hybrid, though I don't know we'd get to the bottom of it... but it may just be a blue call duck. Look that one up, it's about as close as you'll find I think. Either someone's pet or the offspring of someone's pet and a wild bird. Cute little bird either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdbrain22 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Swedish Blue Mallard here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy_incognito Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Interesting bird. I agree the structure looks more like a Goldeneye, but it has odd plumage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
