Red Headed White Muscovy Duck

The Muscovy or Barbary is the domestic form of the wild Muscovy duck, Cairina moschata. There are a number of local or regional breeds, and drakes of these are commonly cross-bred with mallard-derived domestic ducks to produce the hybrids called mulards. A white duck with distinct red facial features is prominently displayed against a blurred brown background. The duck's detailed red caruncles and calm expression draw attention.
