    Can anyone identify the breed of this duck?

    Found this baby duckling maybe about 4 weeks ago. It was lost with no mum in sight. It's starting to change and develop more but I have no clue what sort of duck it is. Or even if it's a local wild duck. Just wondering if anyone here might be able to throw some educated guesses my way?
