Male or female appleyard duckling?

Hi does anyone know if this is a Male or female appleyard duckling? Hatched 15/6/20.?

does it quack or sound like a chain smoker? Ducks will make the “quack” sound we all associate with ducks, lol, and the drakes will be quieter and raspy. Like a quack with laryngitis. They’ll all look the same until they molt their juvenile plumage.

OK thankyou. Still very squeeky at the min so I can't really tell.

Still young and could definitely go either way. They do have a funny transition period too, when their voices are changing so they can be tricky. the girls will usually start quacking earlier than the boys, the boys will keep peeping for a while yet, so that may also help if you have some to compare.
