[HUNTIN HARD]

The more I look at my pic I posted the more it really doesn’t look like any pics of Fulvous that I’m seeing. Body is to light colored, bill is not solid black, and legs are not dark. What y’all think?

That is an immature Fulvous or Black Bellied. Pic is not good enough quality to tell the difference at that age.

I think it’s a cross with a mallard. But it could be immature and/or going through a molt

That's what I'm thinking. A juvenile.

Anybody guessed fulvous? I would agree, probably a younger bird

Sure looks like one. You never know what you might find here these days. Zoos have waterfowl from all over the world that escape.

Never heard of that duck, I think you may be right.

Another vote for juvenile Black Belly Whistling Duck.
