I
guess you are not asking about the mostly white one, which must be a domestic
Mallard. Whatever, both are certainly looking like mainly Mallard genetic input,
the brown one's face marking hints at quite possibly has some PBD ancestry,
although normal female Mallard are not that different. They may well not be
first generation hybrids but likely are somewhere in their history. As they are
together and of similar size (normal Mallards are bigger) they are probably
closely related, so maybe even the white one is hybrid too. I would suspect
only those 2 species to be involved.

Hi Cog list, can anyone help with this duck ID submitted to
questabird?
The consensus so far is that is a black duck hybrid with a
domestic mallard but I have no experience with hybrids….
Thanks for your help
