What type of ducks are these?

I tried googling the images but nothing really matches. One of the results suggests some type of domestic duck. Another one looks like Campbell duck.

Looks like a hybrid mallard
Not having the typical green bright colour threw me.

Yeah it's a Mallard, but looks to have some domesticated genes in it from cross-breeding with farmyard-type Mallards/ducks. This sort of cross-breeding, back-crossing etc can produce very variable appearances!
