I've occasionally seen birds similar to this before, but I'm not sure what they are. Maybe some kind of mutant or hybrid, or an escaped domesticated bird?
I saw this particular one at the duck pond at Palo Alto Baylands park in Palo Alto, California in the early afternoon on 2017-10-29. It was larger than a typical Mallard, but smaller than a typical Canada Goose (maybe about the size of a Muscovy Duck).
Any identification help will be appreciated.
