Mystery Duck (with pictures)

(Cincinnati, Ohio)
At Cincinnati Zoo, Swan Lake, native waterfowl like Trumpeter Swans can come and go as they please. He is a mallard-sized duck that is mainly black-colored. He has large white side patches, almost like the American scaups. He has a head colored like dark chocolate with warm yellow eyes. Weird part:bright pink bill with black tip. He also has yellow legs. I would say ring-necked duck, except for the bill color and brown head.Does anyone know who he is??? (BTW, wasn't on allaboutbirds.com;already checked)
