This odd hybrid was discussed before, I think

Greenish patch on wing, greenish gloss to back and rump and head. Mottled underparts. Orange feet and legs.

Hybrid Mallard X African Black Duck ???

I posted this in the ID thread ages ago, and Dewi said he thought it was a Levaillant's Cisticola...is everyone happy to go with that?
