That duck looks somewhat different other than the color...from other mallards. The shape of the head and the its bill is different. Are we sure that it is a mallard?

Looks more like a widgeon cross with possibly a mallard, maybe a black duck. I've seen mallard black duck crosses and that definitely isnt a mallard black cross. If i had to take a wild guess id say widgeon mallard cross or widgeon black duck cross.

My son, who is an avid duck hunter and studying to be a wildlife biologist, believes it may be a widgeon.

I can tell you that it is a Black Mallard. I have hatched out 2 black Mallards. I have both parents, pure bred mallards, green heads. We just hatched out a white Mallard also, we have never seen this before...Too Cool...
