Wait so how do you tell a solid white duckling from a beige, fawn, or silver duckling???

You can tell by their color as hatchlings. the big silver one i posted a picture of in my last post was hatched with a beige colored head & tail & it's now growing in it's silver & white 'hard feathers', it'll be a Silver Pied as an adult.

(blue fawns & lilacs have a sometimes very slight difference in the darkness/richness of the color.)

I will give you a couple examples:

Solid White Duckling(notice the solid yellow fluff). A white baby should have a pink beak:

Silver Duckling (has beige-colored markings). A Silver baby will usually have a blu-ish tint to the beak/legs:

So would a beige/fawn duckling look the same as the silver, and do you by any chance have a front pic of that duckling?
ETA: Would a beige duckling have tinted legs and beak or no?
