There’s currently a Brown Thrasher skulking along the NE drainage that flows
into the small pond north of the swim beach at Cherry Creek SP. This is where

This appears to be a “Madwall” aka Brewer’s Duck aka Mallard x Gadwall. Note

including brown and purplish hues, is common in this cross as is the birds bill
