Now the shelducks are at it!

Australian Shelduck x Ruddy Shelduck? Shelduck x Australian Shelduck?? Ruddy Shelduck x Shelduck??? Is there a slice of something else in there? Is it a backcross or a multiple hybrid? This is all too much, if you think you know this, presumed escaped, bird's parentage click on 'comments' and leave a note.

*sigh*

There was a similar-looking (almost identical from memory) hybrid with a Shuddy Relduck at Farmoor Reservoir in the late 1990s. I'm guessing they both jumped out of a collection together.
