Lindell  -  According to HANZAB young shelduck have the pale breast early.  A mallard hybrid seems more likely on your info and would be my first thought for an unusual duck at such a place, or around Canberra for that matter

Seen at Lake Williams, Nimitabel - is this a juvenile Shelduck? Very dark brown chest and orange feet had me confused.

Thank you
