Very different markings; I looked in my Peterson Field Guide and could not find anything even remotely close; however, judging by the black mark on its bill, I'd say it's a Mallard cross. Or an immature Mallard, hybrid.

X2 I have seen these ducks in parks. Some people buy them, then when they get too big just dump them in local ponds with the other ducks. Unfortunately they have a hard time surviving the winter. If these are actually wild ducks please correct me..

The "Muskovy" ducks we raised on the farm looked very similar, they came in many variations of color , when mature dressed out about 5-7 lbs, very lean ..Delicious ..
