    Is that a hybrid or a muscovey duck? Either way, nice portrait.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    No idea about the ID. It look a bit like this duck.

    Beautiful capture of this awesome looking bird.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Cool portrait! I believe Maestro is right and it is a domestic Muscovy duck.
