On the way home from lunch today, there were 5 ducks on the water where I usually see them. I know there were 1 drake & 3 hen mallards but I’m not sure about the 5th bird. Is it also a color-phased mallard or what? I have never seen a duck with plumage like this. It is the bottom right pic.

On other sites, I have gotten a x between a domestic & a black duck, a cross between a mallard & a shoveler, & a shoveler.
I wish I had a better pic of the head so we could see the bill better. It doesn't look wide enough for a shoveler to me but I'm not real duck savvy
Thx for the feed back.

When I first saw the pic, I noticed the bill was bigger than normal and was thinking shoveler, but agree with what someone else posted…cross bred with domestic. Just my 2 cents.
