What's the duck (Hampshire, UK)? (1 Viewer)

Hi -

I saw this duck on a local pond earlier this week. From its size and shape, it looks like a mallard to me, but the coulours seem to be all wrong. Can anyone shed any light on what it is?

Some domestic variant of Mallard. The beak and head shapes don't look quite 'right' for a wild Mallard, and remind me a little of a 'call duck'.

Ah, okay, thanks for that.
