[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have drawn a blank trying to identify the three black ducks in this shot. Their features resemble mallards and they associate with mallards, but the coloration is substantially different. I assume they are some sort of hybrid, but what is the other parent? I have seen at least one other individual with similar coloration at a different lake.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Shot with monopod, PP levels.

They do seem to have the same shape as the Mallard, but the colours are totally different. Good composition, like a meeting of the ducks. Colours and details are nice and sharp too. Well shown Greg, thank you.
