First I must apologize as I have no picture. Only a video which I cannot upload.
I was at our local wetlands this other day and came upon a trio of mystery ducks. I have been all over the internet and cannot ID them.
All three had white heads and necks.
Two had black bodies with black mottling on a white breast.
One had a brown body with brown mottling on a white breast.
Their beaks were sort of a pink/red combo.
And I guess the most unique thing was this sort of "pharaoh" dance they all did together with their necks.
In the video I took, they are sitting down, so I can't see their feet.

Perhaps they are a mutation, but they were quite unique looking. On a second visit, when hissed at by a goose, they again did the unique neck dance.

Any guesses?

Thanks.
 
Hmm... They look kinda like Muscovies, but no eye mask.

But males would have even more of an eye mask then females... They could be a mix, but there is Muscovy somewhere in there!

ETA: What they'ra doing is head bobbing. From what I know head bobbing is usually in females...
