Domestic Muscovy Ducks often hybridise with Mallards (themselves frequently domestic). Personally I've rarely encountered them in the flesh until recently, but there is an abundance of photos on the internet. Many are obvious but I'd overlooked the first one as a domestic variant of Mallard until Joern pointed it out.
