Mallard hybrid, with "normal" Mallard inset for reference |

The typical white "bib" on the chest (above and below) indicates a Mallard cross with a white domestic duck of Mallard-type stock |

 |
 |
 |
|
The surprising feature here is not the male hybrid's bib or side but the dark female with patches of shiny green head |
A conventional Mallard for reference |
|

Her ducklings don't have the conventional eye-stripe of Mallard ducklings |
