Is my Khaki Campbell actually female?

So i’ve always had chickens but am new to being a duck mum. I asked for two female khaki campbell’s at my local farm and co produce store. I took the two (adult) ducks home and soon realised one had a distinctly raspier and quieter quack, had a green head, and a very prominent tail curl. I cannot keep a drake as i am only allowed to have two ducks so unfortunately i needed to change it for a female. So i contacted the produce store and they said to bring ‘him’ back and swap for a female. Went back and the guy chose the duck for me and insisted this new duck was definitely female. Just got home and low and behold, quiet quack, definitely some green tinges on the face, but no tail curl. Can someone help me find out if they are a male or female? Don’t want to have to take another baby back 😭.
Here’s some more photos of her please help!

Yes that her is a HIM. Are you not allowed to pick? If you want a female khaki you need to pick one that’s solid brown, brown bill and brown feet.
My Male and Female Khaki have the same color of feet and bills. The only difference mine had to start with was the darker hind end of the drake. My female was lighter in the backside. It was so hard for me to tell the difference other than that. They still look exactly alike but my male now has the drake curl and darker backside. Bill colors are still the same along with their feet. Some of these can be so confusing it seems. My male also whistled when he was younger which was a dead giveaway to me because only my male ducks have ever done that.
