IDENTIFY. This looks like a spoonie drake, but it has hen looks also.
WTF is it??? Sorry for the size cmdux doesn't have any photo editing software.
See the green in the head and the part black/part tan bill.
Side by side of the spoonie drake and cmdux's mule duck.
Note the green in the head.
And yes, CMDUX wants a cookie for shooting the ugliest SOB in the sky.

That would be a 600 gram boot on the tailgate of an f-150 supercrew. I don't drive no chevy!

That's definatly a Spoonallard.
We get a lot of them when the weather turns real cold up North and everything freezes from here to Santa's House.
They usually show up right before the 7 million mallards that were counted somewhere by some guy in a plane with an adding machine get here to MS.
So everyone hit the blind cause the real ducks are apparently on the way.
Won't be long now for sure and every pothole will be covered up.
Better stock up on shells.

I thought the same thing. But the bill should still be all black though right??

Drake that's not plumed out. Yellow eyes give it away.

Looks like a drake trying to come out eclipse plumage. Probably because he's a juvenile.
Just my $0.02
