Leucistic Black Duck

[brian fleming <>]

In 2008 I photographed a duck which was clearly a Black Duck and had the 
head and some body markings in mid-brown on a white ground. As this was 
at Darebin Parklands (Alphington) in Melbourne, where domestic X Mallard 
derivatives are often released, my first assumption was that it was a 
hybrid; but it may have been a leucistic Blackie. No, I couldn't see if 
it had orange feet which would indicate a hybrid. It was quite a 
beautiful bird in its way.
  I can't send the photo here, because it would be an attachment, but 
if anyone is interested I can e-mail it.
