Pics Added! Hoover's Assortment

Yesterday I recieved my assorteted ducklings from Hoover, all 14 look healthy and great. Has anyone else ordered from them? I have always used Holderads or Metzers for ducks, but just wanted a few new and different ones, and this was the cheapest way to go.

Anyway, to my question, looks like I have 4 black swedish, 3 blue swedish, and the rest are smaller, look like harlequin babies, except for pink feet? I have had harlequins in the past and seem to remember darker legs and feet, anyway, Hoover's website doesn't show these breeds? What did every else get from them?

Here is the mystery guy, there are 6 of them all very much the same, behind what I assume are black and blue swedish. I see they have fawn and white runners listed, but these are not upright at all (even for hatchery quality runners). I am trying to get one of it by itself on here, but taking forever.
