Default Water lily for very small pond?

I have a very small pond (mainly intended as a bird bath) and need
something to to keep it clean and tidy.

Is there a small water plant that would do the job?

TIA

The current issue of The Garden has a huge article on just this
subject and it's one of the ones they've put online:

Have fun reading it!

Try European Frogbit, or
Hydrocharis morsus-ranae.

Tiny lily like leaves with dainty white flowers June-August. These pretty
floaters hibernate in winter on the bottom of the pond and raise again in
May.
