Just brought a male call (or bantam) duck, about 1 year old. Not sure what his colouring is. Normally has a green head but he's moulting ATM, he also has a shiney blue colour in his wings.

Agreed!It is a Snowy drake. Very much pet quality, if not with a bit of Mallard mixed in there. Calls should generally have very short bills. The shiny blue on the wing is called the speculum!
I'm not sure how rare they are here, but I haven't seen many around.I also agree with the others. Snowy is one of my absolute favorite color varieties!
Not sure I’ve seen any call ducks from Australia here on this forum. Are they common or rare there?
I know the British call duck association names some of them differently than the U.S.Are Australian Call ducks different than American Calls?
