This mainly brown duck is called the Pacific Black Duck (Anas superciliosa). The sun wasn't breaking through the sun and fog here, so there is less red in the light due to scattering, but it makes the speculum spiffy with the blue spectrum.

ISO2500, 600mm, f4, 1/3200, by Canon.

Superb! The color palette and light combination is, to me, strikingly attractive.
