    Default A hybrid?

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

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

    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.

    Cheers: Wayne

    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.

    Had to comment again. As you know, I love waterfowl shots and this hybrid shot is stellar. One of my faves of yours. Great capture!
