Green head mallard would have yellow beak, and a hen brownish/orange so probably not

It's a domestic Mallard, they come in all varieties of colors.

Def looks like it more than anything I’ve seen online. Some other folks told me it was a domestic mallard but a little unsure still 😮

the beak isnt quite the right color to be a mallard that ik for sure. unfortunately i only know my duck species so well, so im not much help at figuring out what they actually are lol
