Monday Mystery 112618 (Cajun Country)

I started my posts from Louisiana with a little mystery, so I thought I'd end with one as well.

Can you ID the bird above? Why is this type of duck noteworthy?

That is a muscovy duck, notable as an invasive species originating not from Moscow but from Central and South America that is a nuisance to some Floridians, who are allowed to capture and kill them. http://www.myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/managed/waterfowl/nuisance/nuisance-muscovies/
