Nice looking bird, is it one species? Looks like a Scaup/Pochard thing

Could it be a triple whammy?
Tufted/RCP Hybrid with a hint of previous years Mallard?
Cheers
Ken

Thats a strange looking one alright.
I'll go with the flow with it being a tufted hybrid, possibly crossed with a RCP/Baers Pochard hybrid. |
