Yes, I believe this is a Egyptian duck. Nice shot of the bird. Sharp and contrasty.Care to share some technical details as to how this shot was taken?

Looks like an Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) one of a series of small duck-like Geese (cf. Shelducks).

Sorry, Phil is right. It is an Eygptian Goose.
