how can I tell which of my rouen ducklings are drakes?

Date sort Score sort
If the one I think is a male has a green tinge and the other doesn't does that mean he is a male? And he is also quieter than the female
 
I honestly don't know if they are a breeding pair anymore... They are 4 months old and are still have their juvenile feathers. But the one I think is the male his neck is turning white and the stripes on his eye has a green tint to it. Any other advise for telling the difference? But when they mate the female goes on top of the male.

I am no expert (3 weeks with ducks), but it seemed to me that the ducks had a more prominent pattern (lighter colour rimming each feather) to the feathers across their back and shoulders while the males seemed uniform. Also the upper chest or lower necks on the females had a larger pattern while the males were a similar pattern but finer.

Asbergers or OCD tend to make me fixate on patterns - one of these things is different, like on Sesame Street. LOL
