This cutie showed up in our backyard yesterday - no parents to be found. We have two Welsh Harlequins and I know its not that! Any ideas on a breed? Don't think it is a Mallard since the beak is not black....Any help would be great!

Looks to be an adorable Muscovy duckling in it's first week of life.

I was thinking either that or a Black Magpie - both look a lot a like but I have no background with either. Thanks for the post!

Hard to tell for sure from the angle of the pic but does it have a sharp point on the end of it's upper bill.? looks very much like a Scovy ducklings don't think you'd see many magpie duckling roaming around in a neighborhood or country unless it got out of someone back yard.
 
The bill is completely round - is that good or bad?:). I have never seen such a calm and loving duckling so I am so anxious to find out what it is! I know absolutely nothing about muskovy's or anything other than Welsh Harlequins, so I guess I better do some research!
