That top picture sure makes me think Mallard crossed with Woodduck.

I was thinking the same thing.

That would be my guess as well. It sure is a very pretty duck and a very nice couple of pictures. Thanks for sharing! That would certainly make a very nice trophy too! Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Sure eh dats a woodmallard

Neither the mallard nor the wood duck has a light eye like the one in your pictures. Both of the scaups have a lighter eye and a bill that is similarly shaped (not colored). I am not sure how you can tell how much hybridization (?) you have without getting some DNA. Is it the same size as other mallards around it or smaller?
