What dis is?

[C-Bass2mouth]

Shot this dude friday. Wanted to call it a mallard / gad at first but the wings and bill are throwing me off. The pics don't do it much justice, but the top of the head has the iridescent purple tint that a full plume bull gad has. His tail had sort of a limp curl instead of a full curl, and it was calling like a mallard drake prior to me shooting it in the face. Got it in the freezer right now gunna take somewhere asap to get an opinion on mounting it (open for opinions on this also). Messed both wings up pretty bad so I'm assuming a flying mount it out of the questions. I've never had one mounted, and never planned on having one done, but this seems like a good Christmas present idea for the ol lady. I know ALL of you guys are certified waterfowl biologists so help me out here.
