Any chance we could see the whole picture? Or is this a test for the experts!

It's white so my guess without seeing the whole pic is a domesticated orange billed duck.

You are a tease! Either that or you haven't realised how little of the picture we have to go on.

Anyway, welcome to Bird Forum, and we looking forward to you posting this again!

OK, this is a bit tricky but it seems that the lower bird is a Call Duck (white Mallard) and the one on the top right is a Black Swan. There seem to be traces of white primaries in an otherwise black plumage. However, there are other possibilities..........
