What Type of Call Duck is This?

It looks the same size as my call duck at a week old. Here is a pic of her in my hand at that age for reference.

As for color - it looks to be a blue fawn? My blue bibbed had that same grayish color before she feathered out. I'm no expert, so hopefully someone with more knowledge can help!

Calls can be so difficult to hatch, so great job and congrats 😊 Hope the next batch is successful as well.

Can you take a picture of him next to something like a soup can? In your hand, it looks too big to be a call duck. Where did the eggs come from?
It was hard to get him to stay still but here is what I could get:

As for where the eggs came from, we bought them off of Ebay from a seller who had pretty good ratings, if you'd like a link let me know.
EDIT: We also only bought from that seller since no one else was selling call eggs at the time.

I realize now those pictures might not be the best, let me know if you need different pictures.

Hes starting to grow feathers now. Hes got a few grey-brown feathers on his back near his wings and then a stripe of dark brown-bright brown-dark brown-bright brown (and so on) kind of under his wings and then near his butt.
On his chest and belly, he has tiny brown feathers coming in!
I can get pictures later if needed.
 
Here are some updated pictures, turns out he has white fluff on his belly now!
I couldn't really get a photo of his belly since he was terrified of my phone even though he saw I was making sure it was safe (when hes scared of something and I'm holding it or touching it he usually warms up to it) and my mom was too busy to help me take a picture so here are the pictures I've got:

Here are pictures of his wings and side:

Here are the pictures of his butt feathers:

Under these feathers, there is another row of feathers growing that are dark brown-bright brown, etc. etc. like the ones on his side.

And I attempted to get a picture of his belly by myself but he kept laying down:

How old was it in the soup can pics? I have no idea what color.
He was 2 weeks old. Hes now 3 weeks and 1 day (22 days old) I just posted some pictures of his feathers that are growing.
To me, he seems to be some type of color that resembles a mallard. I've looked at Khaki Campbell ducklings and he looks like them but a bit lighter and with yellow-black feet and pink on his beak. I've always suspected he was a Call-Khaki Campbell mix but I'm not sure.
