Ringed Teal x cf.Aythya hybrid* Calonetta leucophrys x Aythya sp (1) There was an odd-looking bird initially assigned to a crossing between Baikal Teal and some kind of diving duck (Tufted Duck or Ferruginous duck for example) on 7.1 at Estuario del Miño, A Guarda, Pontevedra (César Vidal). See two photos below. On 28.1 Harry Lehto suggested the following:

It looks superficially quite formosa-like, but I think that neither of the parents is a formosa. Many Anas-hybrids such as wigeon x pintail or shoveler x teal get a head pattern which resembles a formosa. 
It appears that formosa like head pattern appears because it is somewhere deep in the anas-line, and shows up then relatively easily. So I dismiss formosa as one of the parents.

My first imperssion of the bird was imemdiately that one of the parents is a Ringed Teal (Calonetta leucoprhrs- from South America) - a relatively common bird in parks, and if I look at Barry & Eric Gillham Hybrid Ducks, 5th contribution towards an inventory I see only two hybrids that are quite similar in head pattern, namely wood duck x ringed teal and shoveler x ringed teal. They are both with ringed Teal. There is a case of Ringed teal x New Zealand scaup in captivity, which "Showed a head color and pattern similar to N. Shoveler x Ringed Teal" (Quote from Gillham and Gillham, 2002), so without a very careful study something like Ringed Teal x Ayhtya sp  could be one guess for this hybrid.

Ring-necked Duck* Aythya collaris (1,2,3,4) (1)There was a male at laguna da Frouxeira, Valdoviño, A Coruña on 2.1 (David Calleja Marcos).Sightings at León within the mid-january wildfowl counton 17.1: (2) a female was at Santa Cristina del Páramo pond (D.Miguélez, V.López et al) (3) a female was at Selga de Ordaz reservoir (N.Rodríguez, F.Sandoval) and (4) a pair was at Embalse de Barrios de Luna (N.Rodríguez, F.Sandoval).
