Mystery Duck

Loc: Portland Oregon
Took this pic today at the Rhododendron Garden in Portland Oregon. The duck is about 1/3 larger that any of the other ducks around, did detect a slight green irridescence toward the ends of the wings. Other ducks commonly around here are mallards, coots, pied-bill grebes, and woodducks.. Looked in Peterson's Western Field Guide and still don't have a clue. Any birder photographers out there able to help. Thank you

Almost definitely a Mallard hybrid. Probably with a Khaki Campbell, maybe a Rouen. Heavy orange legs, and when blown up a greenish tinge on the head(towwards the rear) cinch the Mallard part.

All I can say is the the duck knows who his/her mother is but not sure who the father is. LOL....Rich
