Does anybody know what type of duck this is?

We spotted it at the local park. It was amongst the other ducks and some geese.

Looks like a Eurasian wigeon to me.

Wigeon I think?

Wigeon, the light patch on its head is a key characteristic

It’s a duck do

If it looks like a wigeon, swims like a wigeon, and quacks like a wigeon, then it probably is a wigeon.

Wigeon, thanks. I've never seen one before. We usually just get bog standard mallards.

Not a sitting duck...
