    I'm not sure what it is but it is a great image, although mallard hybrid is always a good guess :) I like the pose and details.

    The flight feathers look great!! Not sure if its a hybrid or a funnily marked Mallard. Perhaps its got hybrid genes from a few generations past.

    Another well done flight shot, Jody. Outstanding detail and BG. No guess on the species.

    I usually don't care too much about Mallard images, but this is one of the most beautiful images I've seen in awhile. Great work.
