Thanks for your replies so far,

PBD x (dom.) Mallard is probably the most logical combo as well (too big for a teal species to be involved...). Anyone know how serious the mixing of the two is in the ACT?

Demitris,
 
Based on overall size, shape of head, and colour of legs, I suggest this is a Pacific Black Duck x Mallard hybrid.

Hello all,

A while back I posted of a possible PBD x Chestnut Teal on sullivans' creak, ANU. Well today the bird was back and I had my camera with me. =)

Anyone else reckon he's that combination or anything else for that matter? One parent is, imo, definitely a PBD.

Cheers and thanks!

Dimitris
