I'm inclined to think it is a melanistic domestic variant of Mallard stock. Doesn't look right for African Black Duck. Strange there were 2 of them.

Dear All,


despite consulting both Helm Field Guides (Zimmermann & Stevenson/Fanshawe) I am unable to identify this duck! Spotted two of them yesterday afternoon at the Bamburi Forest Trails & was only able to take a photo from the distance before they flew off...

Would appreciate your help very much!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter Birding!!!

Greetings
Doris
