Observation details

Odd duck, darker than surrounding mallards and wood ducks, but with tiny wings. Bill was pale with some yellow/orange towards the base. Side profile seems almost like a stocky mallard, but head was ambiguous - I believe had slight eye ring and crest-like appearance. The group consensus was potentially a domestic mallard but also potential hybrid. Will attach photos.
