Flagstaff Arizona - Duck (1 Viewer)

When I first saw this duck (some three years ago), I think I had dismissed it as being a domestic. Revisiting the photo, it seems maybe a Northern Pintail hybrid or immature?
Seen in July, in the meadows of Kachina Village.
Thanks for the help!

Definitely some sort of domestic - that body shape with the big rear end is typical of various domestics but not wild species.
