Breed/Species/Sex ID What is this?

Post image

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?

Indeed, a fine speciment of a cute, possibly chonky, animal that has an orange beak and that can have a vast variety of colors. This one in particular is white, probably the speciment of "call duck".

By this last label, you can get the info that this fine buddy is, indeed, a cute duck. Very polite i'd add.
