zooboy28 15 May 2013 Its deinitely not a mallard-black duck hybrid, they look pretty much like a mallard, I think it might be a domestic duck/black duck hybrid. I don't know if hardheads can breed with mallards/black ducks.

FBBird 15 May 2013 Hybrid duck Looks to me like domestic [mallard-type] x domestic Muscovy Duck. Look at the shape & stance.
