Is she what I think she is?

These are my girls. The black duck is Cinder. I'm pretty sure she is a cayuga. But my other duck Ling ling is a little bit of a mystery.
I thought she was a pekin when she was small. Then as she has matured she started turning buff. I thought for sure she was a buff orpington, but she didn't go all buff. She's splotchy. She has freckles on her bill, and she has the most beautiful blue/green eyes. So I figure maybe she is a buff/pekin mix...? What do you guys think?

Here are some pics.

Yeah those definitely look like runners. My fawn and white runner looked just like that as a duckling. My cayuga is about that age and is getting a little bit of green on it but no brown like yours, he doesn't stand that tall either. I'm not an expert or anything. This is just based on my very limited experience.
 
Lucky! You have runners, I want runners but instead i have 2 mallards and they hate me

I agree - I think Cinder is a black Indian Runner, and Ling Ling is a Fawn and White Indian Runner. The picture taken on 5/29 where they're both standing in the upright Runner posture gives it away.

Thanks everyone. I hadn't even considered runners.

Cinder is definitely a black, she has no brown on her now.
She has a little bit of blue showing up on her wings now.
