Looks Cayuga to me. Both @WannaBeHillBilly and I had breed problems with our last orders from Ideal. Our Buffs were Saxonys and our Magpies were from hell. My Swedish had no bib and looked just like your "runner". I don't see any runners in your picture but there are better experts here than me.

Ideal again! - They should just sell "Ducklings of no certain breed" aka "Mutts".
Btw. The Magpie Ducks from hell have turned into real cuties, always greeting me when i leave the house. Their voices have matured, so no "chalk-on-the-board" screech anymore, but they can still peep and they look and walk like Swedish Runners. They run fast and upright like a Runner and if they go slow they waddle like Blanca Duck.

I ordered fawn and white runners from Idea a few years ago for my daughter. They turned out sort of fawn and white, but not runners, a cross at best. I won't ever order ducks from them again. Turned out to be good ducks but not what she wanted.

I will try to remember to put one up later. So much going on at work, problems with closing on our new property, ect.

Same here! As @Magnolia Ducks mentioned, the Buff-Orpingtons look like Saxony ducks, the magpies look like Swedish and the Swedish had no bib, probably mixed with Cayugas…
Really nice ducks, friendly, calm and healthy but far away from any breed standards.
