Is this a Runner?

I will try to get a close up picture tomorrow. I do not notice any blue tint though. It's new feathers that are coming in are dark brown in the center with a lighter brown around the edges. I got them from a local feed store. They normally did not carry ducks, but the lady there had ordered them for someone and they did not come to pick them up. So she said they were up for sale, and I bought them. I don't know what hatchery they got them from.
 
Here are some closer up pictures you asked for still not the best for seeing the coloring.


 
This doesn't look like the runner head or bill to me. Just going with my gut impressions.

Such pretty eyes!
 
Yeah I really am starting to think that it is not a Runner. I think it is the Campbell. When I look at the two of them together they just don't look like the same kind of bird. The heads are different. Either way it doesn't really matter it is a very nice cute duck, and I am glad I have him/her. I can't wait until I can tell if they are girls or boys. I am hoping for one of each!

Yep - no blue there! I must have been seeing things, LOL.

I agree with the verdict of a Chocolate Dusky Mallard (i.e. same colouring as a Khaki Campbell).

Edit: I'm not saying she is a Mallard though - it's just a term for the colouring/pattern :)
