Not at all sure, but makes me think of a duck. Nice pic.
I agree with NMGal, some kind of duck. From the glimpse of a white neck-ring, possibly a Mallard, with the lighting making the head look black rather than an iridescent green.

I appears to be a napping duck with its head turned and beak on its back or tucked into the feathers like this image of a mallard female, only seen from the front instead of the side. The white ring hints at it being a mallard drake.
That was my first impression - napping Mallard Drake. The fact that it's napping clinches that it's definitely a male. The female would NOT be napping.
