pandainya you orang, I posted at FB most of the first few say is duck..... hahahahahaha

we all at FB veli sakai wan mah, only know Peking duck (rub rub tummy)

White duck..hahahaha

I go by deleting from a long list. The only one left in my Guide book with white body plus a little brownish/rufous color around the neck and yellow bill. The rest of body cannot be seen, so not considered. Peking duck was never in my list as I cannot find it in my book. Photo just too blur and glary for any positive ID.
