A hybrid?

Saw this duck when photographing avocets. Looks like a mallard plus maybe a shoveler and a muscovy had a hand here too :bg3:

The folks on birdforum.net call something like that a Yuck Duck :bg3:

Not a yuck image, though, that's for sure! Great banking shot and your usual fine techs.

Beautiful shot of a "park duck", Arash. A seriously inbred duck, probably got some mallard and muscovy in it's line, but that's just a guess.

Hi Arash

Not hybrid IMO, given I cannot see anything other than Mallard &/or one its many domesticated forms in this image. :bg3:

Superb banking pose ,Arash. I love the wing spread , the HA and the excellent detail.

Another wonderful banking image.
Good comp and IQ and details.
It does look like a hybrid but I don't know enough to venture an opinion! Can ducks get vitiligo?( skin condition in humans that lightens skin color)

Looks like a mallard/domestic duck cross. Awesome banking pose, techs, colours. I could see the subject a little lower in the frame.

Excellent banking shot. Wonderful wing spread,nice colors and details.Love the IQ ,frame and composition.

Excellent flight pose and sharp details.
