Albino Mallard ?
Here is the Mallard with no color next to two normal males. I am not certain it is an albino Mallard but I don't really know what else it could be. If you have any ideas please leave a comment.

How interesting. I've never seen an albino mallard, but I suppose it could happen. Nice photos.
Never seen that kind of duck before! Very striking.
I would think there is too much pigmentation in the feathers and the eyes look dark. Perhaps the product of cross breeding, mallard with a domestic white duck?
I have seen two similar in one of our local parks and both mallards and domestics have been present on the lake at times.
Just my theory.
Sure looks like a mallard to me, except for the lack of color. Interesting sighting.
I also wondered if it was a cross between a mallard and a white duck. Both were present. It seemed to prefer the company of the mallards. The photo is pretty true to color. It looked like a B&W duck, as though the color was deleted yet it has these black like outlines. I wish I had taken more photos.
Great shots of the Mallards.
Wow..those are different. There was an interesting post about different types of ducks called 'manky mallards' from 10,000 birds. I found it when I was looking for something I thought was a hybrid of some kind..
