There is a kind of domestic duck breed that has feathers like that on the head, it's called a crested.

Perhaps the one you have there is a bit of a genetic mutt?

Looks like somebody dropped a crested domestic off at the local park after Easter last year = and this guys daddy was there.

Unique mallard for sure. My bet is a crested Rouen.
