Dark duck in Donana (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,

What kind of black duck is this??

Shots taken in first week of april in Andalucia (Donana).

I know, I know, bad shot, but it's all I've got. All I know it's not as black as it looks. It has some variation in color. Lighter at the back I think...
Head and beak like Mallard, but I think all black. It doesn't move the head while swimming.

Thanks.

André

Very hard to make much out from the photo but if I really had to make an id I'd say Teal (mostly because of the pale patch at the rear) but that doesn't fit in too well with your description.
