Well after looking all over the internet for this one I believe it is an immature Chinese Brown Goose. They all have the knob on the top of the bill like this one and the coloration is the same. The mature adults have a higher knob so I'd guess that this one is younger. Was this a farm pond???

Interesting looking duck, Patti! Too bad the wind was blowing to prevent a smooth reflection.

I was going to say African, but then I'm a chicken person so I'm sure I'd be wrong.
