What type of duck is this?

[Rileedale]

I recently got this duck from a farm. Her name is felicity, and she has a black back but a white tummy. But you can’t really see in the pick but she has specs of brown on her back and she’s growing brown feathers. Can anyone tell me what type of duck this is?? Thanks everyone.

Maybe take some pics of her on the ground, moving around, can't see much with you holding her... what kind of ducks did they have at the farm you got her from? How old is she?

She looks like a Swedish mix or possibly a pekin mixShe is pretty!

Appears to be a Black Swedish. Very cute!

I’d say likely black Swedish also. They can have variable amounts of white.

Blackswedish or pekin mix. She is very cute.

They had all mallards and a couple Pekins, as far as I know. She is one month

I would guess she is a mix. That white bib seems to come out in Pekin crosses, from what I've seen.

I would say Black S mix with something else. She is a cutie!!! How old is she?

Most likely she is a Pekin/Mallard crossbred, then, though it is always possible that a wild or escaped drake came along and left some genetic material with a Pekin mom... Since the duck is only 4 1/2 weeks old, it's coloration may change in adulthood to reflect more of the mallard influence.
