ID for the duck in the foreground.
Looks like a feral mallard since it has the green head and some white mottling.
The mallard was standing with two pacific black ducks by the carpark at the reserve. None of them minded that we got out the car right next to them. They were standing at the top of the gentle slope down to the water.
There was a large number of other ducks at the reserve, mostly cruising around on the water. The mallard seemed to be the only one as the rest looked like pacific black ducks and hardheads.
Albino? But is beak regular colour?
