Mowing around the pond today and saw this duck. Closest thing I can find to it is a Red-crested Pochard in summer plumage.

Based on the beak, some kind of nasty diver. Nice camera work.

Without green head=trash duck

As he was swimming off appeared to be banded.

Well in that case here is a green head just for you.

Escaped from someone’s collection.

Damn El Niño weather!
Argentina birds headed north?
Choot em and put it on the wall as a white cheeked pintail.

Looks like a young Mexican Whistling Duck.

I have not seen many whistling ducks but I don’t think they have red eyes

Agreed but I can't find anything online that has the other characteristics with the red eyes. May just be an oddball Whistler?

I have no idea but the Pochard looked to be the closest
I wonder if it’s a hybrid. I’d say that it for sure isn’t a native species.

I’m sure someone is raising them and releasing them. Probably why it looked like it had a band on its leg.

Probably a zoo duck. Most of them have clipping duck wings so they can’t fly pretty low on the to do list so I imagine if a dip shite diving duck decides to leave free groceries, water, and friends to go see what’s like on the outside world, the zoo probably gives zero fricks.
