There it is. The Eurasian, or "common", teal. Key difference is the white along the side pocket. Like I said, I'd call it a GWT and carve it up without even noticing if I bagged one.
Tag, you're it!

Could it be a Redhead-Canvasback hybrid?

Correct on the Eurasian wigeon jda.
You're very warm with the red-headed duck and are correct in assuming that it isn't a redhead. And no, I haven't brought out the hybrids (yet). Along the same theme of "exotic species" that get occasionally harvested in North America.

It must be a Common Pochard then?

In all honesty Hunter John, it was my first guess. This was however confirmed when I clicked on the picture and the file name was "gadwall_upd_6.jpg"

Likely an easy one for you more experienced guys, however, I just saw and shot my first of this duck this past weekend.
