K K kingfisher 5 Mar 2024 I am sorry, but that is just a not fully moulted mallard. No Wigeon x Mallard Hybrid shows the mallard tail locks , independently which wigeon species is involved. See here American wigeon x Mallard hybrids: American Wigeon x Mallard (hybrid) - Mareca americana x Anas platyrhynchos - Media Search - Macaulay Library and eBird
