THey are pretty common actually in the exotic/birding circles.   Woodducks are much like the ringneck in that breeders have done lots of extensive breeding to come up with different "color" versions.   I'd suppose that someones birds escaped with this last big wet snow we had.   Birdguy may have some.  He deals with more waterfowl I believe.  I'll see if I can come up with some pics for you.

Unfortunately I am stuck here at work so can't get at pics.   THe three most common color phases or better yet mutations are Apricot, White and Silver.   Silver is the most recent to hit the market that I know of.

if it wasn't for the legs underwater I'd say it is so white that it looks like a white photoshop. Wierd how it contrast with the surrounding water & mallards.
Cool pic though.
