Beste mensen,
Gisteren kwamen we deze eend tegen. Zwom met Tafeleend. Zou dit een hybride tussen Tafeleend en Wintertaling kunnen zijn?

May be a pochard x ferrugineous duck hybrid?
I do not see any Anas species involvement, it looks like an Aythya.

Do you have more photos?

Is anybody able to tell me more about this odd duck? I'm really curious about its identity.  8)
Common pochard (Tafeleend) X Ferrugineous duck (Witoogeend) was also one of my first thoughts when doing some research. The yellowish appearing color + the black markings under de tail made me consider if there's possibly Eurasian teal (Wintertaling) involved (as written in the title of this thread).

If there's no certainty; would it be better to name the sighting "Common pochard x Ferrugineous duck" with a question mark?

Is it certain that this is a hybrid?
Could it be an aberrant Pochard or maybe a young or moulting male?
