This bird has a jizz reminiscent of a Mallard and is similar sized. Anyway plumage is puzzling. Hybrid? The lake is a known place for occasional exotic species. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, John

This little guy appears to be a hybrid of Black-throated Green Warbler x Canada Warbler. I've shared these photos and the call recording with many folks and, so far, the balance of opinion is BTGW x CAWA hybrid. Feedback most welcome!

Presumed hybird Pine x Yellow-throated Warbler. Originally found by Kyle Matera on 09/22/2021 (please see that report here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/97373048) Relocated by Kyle and I on 10/06/2021. No vocalizations.

To other iNatters: please do not mark this as "not wild" in the attributes. I admit that the "Tamarac duck pond" is a veritable Noah's Ark of released waterfowl, but they swim -- and in some cases, fly -- around the lake. And many have been present for years.

@raymie has looked into the issue of the validity of "counting" escapees/releases -- which of course is greatly confused -- but it seems that an intentionally released bird is nonetheless countable by iNat standards. Several of these records are resubmissions because the original submission got shot down to "casual" based on a majority of "organism is wild" marked with an X.

Here's the discussion that @raymie found:

This is an intriguing duck, seemingly a hybrid between a shelduck and ... a Mallard? I'd appreciate comments on its identity.
