I'm crossing my fingers for a girl for you! I have two Saxonies who the breeder believed were a boy and a girl at 7 weeks, because one wasn't nearly as loud as the others. She had a lot of experience with WHs but these were her first Saxony babies. Turns out one was just kind of quiet - now (thankfully!) I have two loud quacking girls!
So I'm thinking maybe your duck is a mix, and that's why she has features that don't quite fit with a female WH? I think mine is a gold-phase WH, but may be mixed too. I know she's a girl now because she started laying eggs three days ago. Yay!
Here she is, for comparison. Her name is Satski. Same yellow beak and legs as yours, I think, but no dark head..
(Satski, with the 11 week old Saxonies in back - Lucky and Chichikukuyama)
Isn't she just the cutest?
I got her another silver WH as a friend, since the Saxonies are sisters and are really close (and huge!) Here she is for comparison..
My daughter named her WiggleTail
Great pictures
As I said, it's not a big deal. I guess we can only wait and see is (s)he decides to quack
