Mystery Duck @ Werribee

["Bob Cook" <>]

After spending some time at Werribee WTP today looking at Ruff and looking
for Stilt Sandpiper, we went across to Lake Borrie and saw this unusual
duck.  This duck appeared to be in distress, mostly floating motionless,
occasionally making a slight "thrashing" movement. Could only get this rear
shot, but am mystified what it is with the amount of white around the
shoulder and neck. Northern Shoveller appears a possibility!? Any expert
opinions??
