Hey all, think we got a very light (or just the way the sun is hitting the duck) mallard hen. The smaller/slender build to the duck may sugest that there is very little or no domestication in the duck. I beleive that a hen Mexican Duck should be more uniformally gray/brown through out the body and with a narrower neck and head. I think the bill should be an orangey color as well, but I'll have to check some of my waterfowl books to be sure.
My two cents,
Have a good one,
