Duck Identification

[DuckDuckJuice]

Need help identifying a duck in a picture sent by a friend. She just moved to Texas and her neighbors have pet ducks. Some of the breeds I saw in the photos were Black Swedish, Muscovy, Rouen, Khaki Campbell, and Magpie, as well as a few geese. The last photo she sent was one I’d never seen before, but I’m leaning toward a type of Whistling Duck, though none of the photos online seemed to be a perfect match to this one. Thoughts?

Hmmm, doesn't look domestic. It's pretty but I haven't an idea. Does your friend know where the neighbors got them?

They live in Pipe Creek. That was the only one I saw in the photos, so I’m not sure if they’re in a position to breed or sell eggs. They seemed to have predominantly Muscovy ducks, with several individuals of other breeds/species.

No, she just sent pictures without any additional information. I can have her ask, but it sounds like @lost-duckling is right on the money with the Egyptian Goose suggestion.
