I found this duck in the park next to Melbourne Auditorium (central Florida). This lake is frequented by numerous varieties of wild ducks, muscovy, and a few white geese. The closest I could come using book and on-line sources was a Cinnamon Teal, which would be another first for me. Your help is appreciated as always.

Looking at the breast, head, and bill, I'd go with a hybrid Mallard x ?. Of course there's some weird species and crosses out there, but it doesn't look like any native N.A. species.
