A white duck with light-brown trim

A few weeks ago, I posted that I saw a white duck that didn't seem to be a Mallard. When I saw it, it was several hundred feet away, and I couldn't get a good look at it. At the time, I thought it had a smaller head than the other ducks.

While feeding the ducks, several of the ducks that came for bread were white with light brown trim on their bodies and wings. The rest of the ducks were the typical Mallard color (brown for females and black/green/blue for males). I don't know what kind of ducks the white ones are.

    Looks like it might be an Indian Runner Duck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Runner_Duck

    Thanks for the link, John! I've been wondering what they were. I see several of them along the river.
