Found this Chocolate/Indian Runner x Mallard duck at a local pond in Spring this week. After surfing a bunch on them, I can't find another with this coloring, although they descended from Mallards so it's probably not completely unique. |

I'm wondering if its a hybrid of a mallard, and something else. the body stance, and structure look like a Black Bellied whistling duck |

If you look up an Indian Runner Duck, that's what the body shape and behavior is. It ran upright instead of squatted down like most ducks do. Was taller and a bit thinner. And I read that they don't fly long distances so I wonder how it got there. There's no river or lake connected or nearby. He's very pretty! |
