I would love to know the species of this duck.

Very frustrating. . .We've got a field guide to the birds of Britain and Ireland, and that little duck doesn't appear in there. Unless she's an immature version of something that will develop a little more color later on. But that light yellow bill is a real deal-breaker.

Thanks for checking. There is a pacific duck with a blue spot, but that was the only thing I was able to find via google.
