There is not a single thing about that bird that looks luecistic. Sure you did research on the subject?

I absolutely did the research!!! I did not say it was or was not luecistic! I had never heard of the condition until a friend told me about it. I did a google search on a luecistic Mallard & several photos came up with several looking almost identical. That is why I said that I think it MAYBE luecistic.

That is a park duck for sure and likely no wild mallard genes at all. Looks like a black bibbed swedish breed of duck crossed with a german line with a brown dilution gene mixed in. Saw tons of these ducklings sold at IFA this spring LOL. Seen many of them flying into wild areas nowhere near a park so they must have a good foraging gene to survive away from the bread handouts hahaha.

Very well could be. I have had lots of people tell me a bunch of different things. My first guess was it was crossed with a farm duck. Who knows. All I know is it is kinda cool to me. It did come into the deeks with a flock of mallards.

I don't care what anyone says, I think it's a cool duck and you should mount it! :mrgreen:

It's still in the frezzer Tex. I do need to get it down to you. I think I have found a pose or two that I like. I will give you a call soon. The wife is got to be getting tired of it taking up frezzer space!
