Duck - Khaki Campbell

The current hot topic at NaturePixels bird forum now is about rare winter migrant - the Masked Finfoot. I got this 'rare' visitor in my front yard.

This duck somehow lost or trapped in between my front yard's fence and the monsoon drain.
None of my neighbors own the duck, so this bird must be from further up and probably carried away by river water the night before.
It is not a wild duck because it looks tame and didn't fly when I approached with a camera.
I tried to get the species name of this duck, can't find the specific feather pattern. I closest that I get is Khaki Campbell, probably juvenile judging from incompleted feathers of the wings.

The picture above was taken at 8:34am under very low morning lighting.
The duck was still there until 7.00pm, and the picture below was taken at 3.11pm.

Not the best exposure here. The above white at the neck and yellow at the vegetation is over exposed.
