I don't agree, Jett. The distinctive features of mallards are the orange legs, the green or
purple iridescence of the head, the blue to purple iridescence of the speculum as well
as the curly tail feathers. The second duck shares none of these features.

Overread's posts correct. Some ducks do migrate but their wings are too small
and beat too fast to consider long migrations… even carried by a good wing.

It's a hybrid of some sort. Mallard and possibly a Swedish Duck.

I did not know about the ringed teal and I could have sworn
it is an hybrid too… I am more prudent now because birds
are surprising at times.
