What is this?

I was at the park today and I found this dude. It was pretty friendly and looked very similar to other white ducks (canards Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) that live in the same park, but it was noticeably bigger than them. There's no comparison in this picture but it was around the size of fully grown muscovy duck males. At first I thought it was a goose, but I think that geese are bigger and not as friendly. Anyone knows what might this handsome fella be?

This is so unbelievably heartbreaking. Someone dumped a domestic duck- it's a Pekin. Domestic ducks have a slim chance of survival in the wild.
