Poss Red-crested Pochard CBWR

Here are some photos of this duck, the wing bar looks good for Red-crested Pochard but the head pattern and shape look a bit off. Can't immediately find any shots on the internet that show a similar head pattern but if it's a recently fledged bird I guess it could still be moulting through.
 
Happily coming into bread and squabbling amongst the Mallard!
