Is this a permanent hair style or do these critters fluff up the feathers. Also can you confirm the species for me. Sorry about the quality but I was on the long end of my 800MM lens and I got a bit shaky.

Hi Jschock,

These are actually a fancy breed of domesticated Mallard, specially bred to have these strange head feathers (and to be white, too!)
