I A Munro 12 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 This one might be a bit boring - is this a domestic/mallard hybrid, or something along those lines? It was noticeably larger/more aggressive than the surrounding mallards (pictured), with a darker/less shiny plumage, a paler bill, and a speckled breast. In a small man-made pond in San Francisco in May. Thank you! (You'll also notice a large crazy-looking Muscovy Duck which I assume is also domestic.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Bird Nuts 4,312 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Yes, the larger duck (besides the domestic Muscovy) is a domestic breed of Mallard. Edited May 13, 2019 by The Bird Nuts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
