There's a breed of domesticated duck that's all white.  Wikipedia has
a couple pictures:

I always thought the likeness was pretty good.  :)

And based on the white collar and the "WOO WOO WOO!" call, I suspect that
Daffy isn't really a duck at all, but is actually a loon:

Which does bring up the question of why WB is trying to pass a loon
off as a duck...

...which would fit in well with this theory.
