It’s a feral (probably domesticated parents) Male Muscovy Duck.
Here’s a useful website for you to identify most of the more unusual American Native Birds, and many of the introduced species, too: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Muscovy_Duck/id#

Something that belongs to the bird gallery.

Also, if you want to find out something from a picture, there are websites dedicated to that and ask only for you to load a picture.

Look at the species name...

Think musk is moving to Moscow? That would be just one more turkey there.

Google Lens is one that I use frequently.
