Observation details
In Hayward marsh at the east end. Fairly distant, so I couldn’t get good photos. There was something odd about this male duck. Possible Redhead x Canvasback hybrid. The head color matched Redhead. The bill was pale with a dark tip. However, the back was paler than a typical Redhead but not as bright white as a Canvasback. The head shape appeared intermediate between the two species, though closer to Redhead (definitely not as elongated as a Canvasback). The female it was associating with appeared to be a female Canvasback, although again the head shape appeared odd.
