The unique color combination of a black and white duck with a red head is called the Mallard duck.
A male mallard in breeding plumage. There is no wild duck with a green head and a black body. Mallard drakes have the green head, but the body is bascically buff and brown, with white and a blue or lavender speculum patch on the wing, with a dark brown or chestnut colored chest. The bird you saw may be one of many hybrid species, as for example I have seen seen domestic ducks that have bred with mallards to produce many different colors, including basic black birds. In exotic species, male Indian runners and crested cayuga ducks are black with green heads, and are allied to mallards. But no North American species.
It's the male which has the green head. Female birds are less colourful than their male counterparts.
Homonyms of "duck" include: Duck (the bird) - Example: Look at that duck swimming in the pond. Duck (to lower one's head or body quickly to avoid something) - Example: I had to duck to avoid hitting my head on the low ceiling.
The red and white head on a duck is significant because it helps with species identification and mate selection. The colors can indicate the duck's age, health, and reproductive readiness, making it easier for other ducks to recognize and interact with them.
The common goldeneye is a medium-sized diving duck with a distinctive appearance. Males have a striking black head with a green sheen, a white body, and a characteristic round, yellow eye. Females are mostly brown with a lighter head and a more subdued appearance. Both sexes display a white patch on their wings, which is visible in flight.
Some homonyms of "duck" are: 1) duck - the bird; 2) duck - to lower your head or body quickly to avoid something; 3) duck - a type of fabric.
A mallard is a bird that has an iridescent green head and brown on the body. The ring necked pheasant is another bird with a brown body, and an iridescent green head.
It would depend on if you are speaking of wild species or domestic. There are crested ducks that have a tuft/fluff ball on their heads. They are called Crested Blue Swedish Ducks. In the wild this are no primarily blue ducks that have white tufted heads unless they are a cross between a domestic crested duck.
