What are my ducklings mixed with??

Hi!
Im new to this group and i just got 2 new ducklings recently. I was told they where welsh harlequin but the look nothing like WH ducklings. After asking the lady i got them from she knows for sure the mom is a welsh harlequin and the only other drake she has other than the WH drake is a khaki campbell, but hes very small compared to the WH's. However her ducks are allowed to free roam the property all day. We're thinking maybe she mated with a wild mallard?? Is that even a possibility; i know mallards usually have a specific mate and dont think theyd mate with a domestic duck but the ducklings we got look nothing like welsh harlequin or Khaki campbells. we're stumped at this point lol.

Sorry I really don’t know what your ducklings are. They look different than any I have seen but I am a relative newbie Hence the correct but not informative post.

It might be easier to tell in a couple weeks.

I couldn't tell a darn thing until around week 5-ish, but that's maybe because I'm new.
