I would say duck. I wish my magpies were the leaders! They are older, but the muscovies set their ranking as highest and so they sit on the pond banks instead of swimming !

I know because:
she has good long flights at an early age, she has a narrow tail, she has a narrow stance (feet touch), she looks pretty, too, like MLyd said, feminine...but the give-away has to be the wing development. Males have, at first, short wings, huge bodies, wide tails, wide stance, big legs and feet. They waddle more when they walk, are more clumsy. When they run it´s hilarious, like an elephant charging along....yours is a gal, and a very pretty one.

....and poop all over it, too!
