New Duck - Breed help, please!

[AsaDotJava]

Can y'all help us determine what breed/s our new little duckie, Fern, is? I was told she was purchased in the spring of 2018 from a feed store. Our ducks here are always just listed as "assorted," and I am not familiar with duck breeds at all so I have no idea where to begin my search!

It's colored like my fawn & white runner, but it obviously isn't a runner. Maybe a Buff, that has some white markings.

Look spot on for a hatchery type runner. They don't stand up to much if at all. Nothing like show quality ones do.

My runners from Metzer Farm stand up tall, that looks like a Buff to me even the bill color.

Metzer is the exception then. No way that's a Buff. It's a F&W Runner.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a cross between who knows what since it's from a feed store. It could've come from anywhere. It looks like the black/blue one beside it, except buff/fawn. It's pretty regardless, does it quack or raspy-squeak?

She looks exactly like my F&W Runner - Buff mixes one of my Runners hatched out this Summer.

Thank you for your replies! I looked up both breeds and I honestly and not convinced she is purebred of either... She doesn't have that super slim runner body, but she has a VERY petite head.
