Any clue what breed this baby is?

We’ve now had this baby for a little over a week.. guessing age is about 3-4 weeks old. Found abandoned with no mother or babies in sight and wouldn’t leave us. Was very human attached and wasn’t foraging or drinking any water that was nearby…but devoured when given by human..Based on behavior assuming someone hatched out some babies and thought it would be ok to discard this baby at the local park .. very imprinted on humans and we have since gotten it some friends were growing out to put with so it’s not alone until then he/she hangs with us…I’m curious if anyone may know the breed of this baby.. has always been completely black and is getting iridescent green feathers coming in.. I’m torn between possibly a Cayuga or a black and green moscovy.. any suggestions??

Or East Indian Black Duck?

Or East Indian Black Duck?

I was just going to say the same thing because he/she looks pretty small.

Certainly not a Muscovy, but Cayuga is a possibility. Looks too big to me to be an East Indian.

Or East Indian Black Duck?

Definitely black!

If it was standing I might be able to tell if it was a Runner.

Not sure if it helps but he currently is weighing in at 2.5lbs at 4 weeks.. and def not a runner he doesn’t stand upright in anyway lol

If he weighs that much already, you can scratch East Indian.
