Breed of this little duckling? I

[LillyAcresFarm]

I absolutely adore ducks and have often been seen browsing the local rural king and buying birds that I don’t have and I spotted this little darling today and had to have it. Along with a chocolate Swedish, blue Swedish, blue runner and a mystery black duckling that could be a Cayuga or a black runner.

This one the guy at the feed store and I had a discussion about. I ask him if he knows what this one was and he said it was a fawn and white runner. I disagreed with that as I have two fawn and white runners and their beaks are orange. He told me that he was 90% sure that’s what it was. I was thinking Buff or welsh harlequin but I’m not sure since I don’t have either of those breeds. If they are welsh harlequin then I just may go back tomorrow and get a few more.

My first thought was khaki campbell because the head is so dark but you could be right that it's a welsh harliquin. Dark bill would mean male in that case. A light bill with a dark bean would be female.
