This image features a Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata), which is identifiable by its large body, grey plumage, and distinctive red, warty facial growths called caruncles around its eyes and bill. The duck is standing on grass and dry leaves.
Key Features
Species The duck in the image is a domesticated type of Muscovy duck, as wild individuals are typically mostly black. The varied light grey and white coloration is common in domestic and feral populations.
Physical Appearance The most notable feature is the bare, red facial skin (caruncles), which are more prominent in males than in females. It has strong, clawed feet that help it to roost in trees, a common behavior for this species.
Environment The duck is pictured in a grassy area with scattered brown leaves, which is a typical habitat for feral or domestic populations found in parks or farms.

This image is of a juvenile duckling with brown, somewhat spiky-looking down feathers, swimming in blue water. The duckling has a small pinkish bill and a dark eye that stands out against its lighter-colored head and chest.
The appearance of its feathers suggests it is starting to lose its initial fluffy down and grow its first adult feathers. The spiky appearance at the rear may indicate an emerging tuft or crest, which is characteristic of some duck species.

Duck Details
Adult Duck: This individual has predominantly black and white plumage with iridescent green and purple sheen on its back and wings. It features the characteristic red, bumpy facial skin, or caruncles, around its eyes and bill base. The variable white markings suggest it is likely a domesticated or feral type, rather than a wild one which is mostly black.
Duckling: The smaller bird is a fluffy brown and black duckling without the distinct facial features or iridescence of the adult.
Setting: They are sitting outdoors in a grassy area with some scattered dry leaves and patches of dirt. A watermark in the bottom right corner indicates the photo was taken on January 12, 2026.
