Would you call this a Lavender Runner Duck?

I'm unsure as to what this colour is called. It was suggested to me that it may be Silver but upon googling it looks like Silver runners are more similar to the colouration of a Welsh Harlequin.

Any insight would be appreciated. I've also added some cute pics of her as a wee duckling.

Bonus points if you have any idea what ducklings may look like if she were bred with the Blue Runner drake in my last pic.

She looks Silver to me, meaning that she has 2 blue alleles. Silver ducks can be almost totally white like my Crested (Swedish) duck.

But, some look like the blue is leaking through. A friend of mine calls it splash. To me, that looks like your duck. I have a baby of my silver who is lavender. That means having one blue and brown. She does not look like yours at all.

If you think yours has brown, she could also be lilac which is 2 blue and brown. She would then look like a silver with a brown hue.
If I am correct and she is silver and you cross her to a blue drake, the probability is for 1/2 blue ducklings and 1/2 silver ducklings. Do I get the bonus points?

Oh my gosh you win!! Haha

That's awesome! Thank you for all the amazing info. Some of the colour coming through is definitely brown mixed in with grey/blue.

I'm new to ducks - my flock of 6 hatched in May. I'm fascinated by the genetics but it's a lot to grasp.

Curious what would happen if she were to breed with my white & black runner drake or my Welsh Harlequin drake. (See pics).

I somehow messed this up, but anyway. . .

If she is a silver (or lilac) I think you would get blue and white ducklings (solid blue also if the drake is heterozygous for the runner pattern that results in spots). With the Welsh I believe you would get blue ducklings. Here is a very good article about duck genetics: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/mallard-derived-duck-color-genetics-basics.74277/

Wow this is so interesting! My runners are in the same color range, and of the 10 babies they hatched, one was blue and the rest were silver and lavender I believe. We kept one girl- she's lavender? Lilac?
Here are pics of our girls, drake and baby

She looks to be silver.

Bred to your blue drake, they will produce blues and silvers
