Duck ID
Found this morning in Bayou Sauvage, and thought it was a Mallard, but not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

I think, Northern shoveler / Anas clypeata. Femail or juvenile.

It looks more like a female or eclipse Blue-winged or Cinnamon Teal to me but those birds are tiny compared to mallards.
