Common or Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra), family Rallidae, order Gruiformes, found across much of Eurasia, northern Africa, and Oceania, Australia and New Zealand
The remarkable feet of coots are fissipalmate (lobed/partially webbed), which help them swim and walk across soft mud (without sinking).
Coots are not ducks, but are more closely related to rails and gallinules/swamphens (and more distantly, cranes).

Most People: Ducks are so silly! Quack quack! Me: Anseriformes are one of the few groups of animals we know were probably present before and after the end-Cretaceous, meaning ducks are Survivors of Extraterrestrial Nuclear Winters, and we should all fear their power. Quack Quack.

the cackling goose is a relatively small goose found in north america & east asia. they are almost identical in appearance to the more common canada goose, however, they are usually distinguished by a smaller size. the smallest subspecies weighs as little as 3lbs; however, larger members of the species can weigh just as much as a canada goose, making them hard to distinguish. they feed primarily on plant matter found in the water; they also occasionally feed on insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. males and females are almost indistinguishable, however, females have a different call.

To be honest, if one of the students in my Junior Duck Stamp classes ever turned in something like this, I would be elated.
(For a bit of background--a few years ago the Federal Duck Stamp contest rules were changed so that artists HAD to include some element of waterfowl hunting in their entries, whether they were comfortable with it or not. The above artwork may be my favorite example of malicious--or at least snarky--compliance.)

also, everyone is talking about how Simon has this huge capacity for empathy this this and that about how empathy is so integral to his character as if this guy didn't just spend the first two episodes of this show torturing a goose to death
