This image was on some site that I was unable to fully access, but I was able to copy the photo for comparison. Notice the duckling on the bottom left. I thought it looked similar to yours. They were listed as Muscovy ducklings. Whatever it is, it is adorable! Good luck....

Thanks for your time, you wouldn't happen to beable to see any sex characteristics in mine could you..?
 
Going by if the duckling is a muscovy, so far I was able to find a few helpful tips for gender. If the duckling is male the legs will be thicker and the feet larger. Another thing I read, is the female gets her flight feathers sooner than the male. Also, the male will get his caruncle (the growth above their nose, like a waddle) before the female. Another tip I read, was the males tend to sit funny, almost on their ankles. Here is a link that might be helpful, although I was not able to see some of the information (maybe, because of my device?). Good luck in finding the info you seek. I have looked at other ducklings and none appear to be more similar than the muscovy, but who knows I may not have found the right breed. :)
