Is this mallard or wood duck?!?!

@Pyxis nailed it again! How cool would it be if they kept that pattern when they matured!

I should also say he's the cutest thing I've seen this morning (since I just had to look at his pictures again). lol

Hey everyone
I recently got a baby duck, a friend of mine found it in his yard and asked if I could raise it (probably because I already have rabbits and chickens). Ive had him for about a week now and we’ve named him Willy. Anyways I was wondering if y’all could help me figure the breed. Here are some pictures
Thanks!

Hi It looks like a cross between a mallard and maybe a peking. That is one beautiful baby bird and I would love to have it. Just keep it safe from predators

I think that's a prettiest baby duck I've seen in my 60 years

Thanks!! Yea he’s definitely safe he stays inside with us right now most the time until he gets big enough to fend for himself but comes outside with me when I go out
