He appears from the extent of the dark "spur" on his shoulder to be a full Barrow's as opposed to the hybrid Barrow's that was in the same location and. coincidentally, on the same date back in 2012. The 2012 hybrid had a very much shorter "spur". I posted a couple of pictures from this morning in my 2019 gallery at the following link - note the titles for date of taking: https://scranlocker.smugmug.com/Nature/Nature-2019/n-Pfrc5T/ I think it is interesting that the dates across 7 years are the same, as is the mix of ducks he hangs out with. The question would be; could it be the same bird, seven years older, and with a more "mature" dark spur?
