Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Duck hen color question: I picked up the barred hen that I'm 99% sure is blue. She also has some hints of brown, but not to where I'd term her a Lilac or Chocolate. I have two Lilacs and a Chocolate and she looks nothing like them. Is it just a recessive color showing?

I also included a picture of my Lilac drake. Excuse the mud....we apparently no longer get sun where I live.

She is blue. The brown in her feathers may just be a dull feather or sun bleached feather
