See them quite often in park and golf course ponds.

Chances are its a domestic breed. Not necessarily a hybrid. The swedish breeds have a white bib on the front like that one does. They look like hybrids with the coloration but its standard to the breed(s).

Most likely hybrid. I see drake mallards with a chocolate brown heads instead of green at parks too.

Probably a hybrid.
Come mating season... any hen is fair game for mallards.
We used to raise ducks as kids, and I've seen groups of 6-8 mallard drakes raping every single one of our "pet" ducks.
Female... or male....

Blue Swede, my parents raised them when I was young. I have seen them different times at public parks. People letting their pets go possible?

I was going to say hvidbrystet dansk or Danish white breasted, a domestic breed.
