Juvenile duck with drooping wing?

My blue Swedish drake is about 8 weeks old and recently I have noticed some drooping in the right wing. All of the pin feathers are growing through on both wings but only the right wing is drooping. I originally thought that angel wing was the problem but I have heard that the blood in the pin feathers make them droop. Any ideas?

Do you have any pictures from the side? From your current pictures it looks fairly normal for a young duck growing in their wing feather. I normally do not get concerned when juveniles have wings that droop a little unless they start to hang below their body.
 
here's one from the back in comparison to the left wing and one from the side.

here's a good example of how the wing is always untucked. It doesn't flop out to the side like angel wing but sits on top of the back feathers.
