Given the deep brownish-red flanks apparently without spotting, I'd go with Northern Shoveler x Cinnamon Teal. Both Cinnamon and Blue-winged Teal X Northern Shoveler hybrids typically show a white crescent and it's my understanding that hybridization with a Cinnamon Teal actually produces a larger crescent than Blue-winged.

John, that is an interesting duck as I've never seen such a hybrid; to me, it looks to be a cross between a Northern Shoveler and Blue-winged Teal as the white crescent is a giveaway that BWT is in the recipe and the bill and mention of the green iridescence speak to traits one would see only in a Northern Shoveler. If the white crescent wasn't present, I'd be more apt to consider th influence of a cinnamon teal but...Thanks for sharing!
