Among a large group of mallard ducks, this male is like none other.
Is it a hybrid?

hybrid duck = (Mallard x Domestic duck)
sometimes a hybrid with a Pintail can also produce a white bib.

SS. thanks for the reply.
I also wondered if it was a hybrid with Northern Pintail especially when I look at the tail feathers.
