pekin Sexing

I'm reposting here since it's probably better than the Pekin duck thread.

This is a video of my Pekins:



The small pekin we now think is the female. However, that odd whistling "quack" does not match any pekin sound. It's very high-pitched and not like a quack. The other duck appears to have a drake curl. When we had four drakes, however, the one that now has a drake curl was the duck we thought was female because the other ducks bit the back of it's neck, ripped out feathers and the duck would hid from the other four. We got rid of three males and thought we had a small male and a large female. Then the "female" started mounting the "male" and the drake curl appeared. Because the smaller one makes a noise that does not sound like a pekin, the sounds don't really help with sexing them. There is one male and one female, as one of them still makes that very loud "honk" in the mornings. Any ideas on which is which and why the one makes the odd whistle-type noise?
 
I made a video with less wind, which might help. The shrill peeping is the smaller duck. These ducks are a bit over 4 months old. Can anyone tell me which is male and which is female?

 
What sex did the peeper/whistler end up being?
