Default Duck....

So there were several ducks Loitering about the docks the other day. But this duck was the only duck that looked like it did. What type is this one?



There was also a very vocal Loon (pair) making quite a racket there as well.

It looks like a female mallard. Scroll to bottom of this link for a picture of a female mallard with same blue markings: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/mallard/id
