Can anyone identify this duck?

Seen at Widewater lagoon nature reserve, Shoreham Beach yesterday; what is it?  I can find nothing like it in my bird books.  Might it be a hybrid with some Egyptian goose in there somewhere?  I have no idea.  What do you think?

The RSPB people at Pulborough Brooks, had a look  on 22nd January and say that it is a hybrid Mallard.

About Me

Cuckfield, West Sussex, United Kingdom
In my former working life, I was a biologist who entered commerce in sales and went on to marketing in Milan and to manage sales and manufacturing companies in Holland, Belgium, West Germany, the UK and Ireland, selling Hi-tech diagnostic equipment primarily to hospitals. My five children are from two marriages -- my first wife and son were killed on a bicycle in 1978. Now I share my life and ramble on with Gloria. My interests include Natural History and History. I have a number of illustrated talks on such topics which I enjoy giving.
