I will go out on a limb and suggest that this is a candidate for Mexican x
Mottled based on the appearance of typical male Mexican Duck except for three
traits inherited from Mottled Duck: moderate black gape spot, purple tinge to
blue speculum, and buff patch on throat. Are these all within the
Pond west of 75th. Great light but distant views. Thanks to Eric DeFonso for
the find.
