White Mallard

Albuquerque, NM - Tingley Beach Area - The White Mallard is another domestic variety. Mallard breeds can be somewhat confusing. They can be larger than normal or much smaller, darker or lighter, all white or all black. Watch for the little curled feathers on the back of the male, above the tail. Only the Mallard and its domestic descendants have those.
