Too me it's hard to figure out. But dusky sure is pretty

Do you know what color the parents are?
My guess would be a solid chocolate, possibly with a white bib.

But if there are blue genes in the duckling, it could very well feather out to be a blue fawn (lilac). With some it can be hard to tell unless you have a lilac and a chocolate beside each other for comparison. But I lean more towards chocolate due to the dark feet and bill

Ya I have no idea my uncle found eggs on a jobsite and had to move them so I took them and incubated them

This is not mine, but it came from the Muscovy Duck Central genetic page and was labeled as dusky.

Again, I'm no expert, but the lack of the usual yellow spots on the back mean something, I just don't know what that is.
