Sorry about the focus but at least there is a pattern, but I cannot find a match - any clues? Seen at Fuente de Piedra in December.

It does look like the wing panel of a Mallard.

OK thanks, it was the white sides of the fanned tail which threw me off, my book shows all ducks with the tail closed to a point in flight. I had Mallard in my notes but it was written much later.
