The duck version of a feral pigeon, at a guess.

Not related to me though.....

Think it's probably a cross of tufted duck and some other there are lots of variants.

I'm sure you're right about it's Scandinavian ancestry, more info here: http://domestic-waterfowl.co.uk/swedish.html
That's interesting, I first thought Blue Swedish then got a link to Black, but your link says this is just an unstable blue! Love that! but the 'splashed' description clinches it I think.
So these 3 appear to be 'rejects' and were maybe thrown out of a show breeder's flock?
Thanks for the link John, it's really helpful. (y)
