Need help with a cast duck head

Howdy folks,

I was cleaning the shop the other day and pulled away the shelves from the wall and found an old cast duck head. My problem is... I DONT KNOW WHAT IT GOES TO. I'm pretty sure it's a ferbee, but its so old the catalog numbers no longer match. It says WFTD on the bottom... I think it may be a diver hen of some sort probably one of the pochards, but for the life of me I don't recognize the shape. If anyone has an old catalog and can reference that catalog number I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks
Jon

Could it be...

a White Faced Tree Duck (WFTD)? It's bill resembles a pochard type look, and back then the name hadn't been changed to whistling duck.
Hope it helps.

water fowl teal drake?

Thanks John

But it's by far way to big to be any of the native teal. I suspect it may be the White Faces tree duck.

Oh well guess I'll never know
