hatched at 31 days...a real cutie with a wide tail base...
I have a male and female muscovy and just wondered if maybe.....
 
It appears to be a muscovy due to it's longish tail and bill shape. If it's got thicker legs that the "average" duckling, that would be a clincher.
 
Looks like one! If you look at the bean (the tip of the bill), muscovies usually have a noticeably larger bean than other breeds. From your pictures it's hard to tell, but it looks like that duckling has a large Muscovy bean : ) And the shape of the body and tail also points to muscovy. Congrats, they are a very fun breed to have!
