Is this a Buff or something else...?

Some colors do have variation in bill color between the sexes (ie. harlequin), but I'm not sure if fawn/white is one of them. Sometimes the bills change color after hens start laying due to nutritional and hormonal changes. Either way, it would be very difficult to sex by bill color until your ducks are in full adult plumage, since bill colors will change along with the feathers. The easiest way to tell at a young age is by voice sexing. I can tell by 4-6 weeks of age this way.
