I took this image of a duck with young chicks this past weekend on
Faylor Lake in Central Pa. The lake is somewhat isolated but I'm thinking this might be some type of mallard/domestic hybrid. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Michael,

I believe your ID is correct, this appears to be a mallard/domestic duck hybrid.

For sure.
