The female was smaller than her mate. I believe she is a mallard x Muscovy hybrid. Her head and beak and body shape is that of a large mallard but the iridescent feathers on her wings and back are like a Muscovy. She was a pretty little duck. You can see the blue paint on her mate. Her mate has a curly tail which is a male field mark.
