I really liked the colour patterns on this bird. I'm not sure whether it's a young bird getting its adult feathers or just going through a moult. Comments always welcomed.

Just spotted that the image needs a rotation. Can't seem to edit my original posting though, so here's a repost.
That is one strange looking bird.... The rusty feathers and those huge tertials are beautiful--the head, not so much. Maybe a bit of selective sharpening on the head.
Yes, strange mallard indeed...likely a hybrid of sorts (domestic?). I could go for more sharpening on the head too. Good catch on the rotation.
