On another note, spring would appear to have arrived (in Southern Ontario, at least) with reports of Killdeer, Woodcock, Sandhill Cranes, various waterfowl species and blackbirds in the last few days. I myself had my first Common Grackles of the year this morning as I walked to the bus stop! Unfortunately I am right in the middle of peak homework season so hopefully nothing too rare shows up in the next...2 weeks or so.

I will go with male (A. Black Duck X Mallard) X A. Black Duck
Looks like a Mottled Duck.
Curly tail feathers mean a male with some mallard in it.
Maybe a backcross with 3/4 black duck and 1/4 mallard.
Obviously a bit of male Mallard involved, but still looks like part Mottled!
