Hello, some time ago in this thread
http://forum.waarneming.nl/forum/index.php?showtopic=19695 (http://forum.waarneming.nl/forum/index.php?showtopic=19695)
I linked a hybrid which in my opinion is not a cross between 2 species, but one between 3 different species (Meaning a hybrid of 2 species crossed with a 3rd species).
The original picture doesn´t excist any more on Birdpix, but here is a link to pictures of what I assume to be the same bird:

What do you think?
To give you my thoughts: In my opinion this bird has features of hybrids Mallard x Teal and also Mallard x Pintail
For illustration of my thoughts: Different Mallard x Pintail hybrids

Note: The scapulars, back and tertials can be much browner in hybrids mallard x teal than on the drawing.
