Unknown Duck (?)

I reckon Red crested Pochard hybrid, I may be wrong, but nice spot.

Maybe simply a Red-crested Pochard...

Both wrong ,.It is a Bahama Pintail(Anas Bahamensis)or White-cheeked Pintail is its other name.not sure if it's male or female as both pretty similar and I'm not used to seeing them and can't really blame the other guesses as it ain't a comon sight.
The chances of it being a wild bird are practically nil,except in the escape sense of wild.
It is ,however,a lovely photo of a lovely duck

Great capture Terry n w
