What if he's part Cayuga?
They shimmer. So do Black East Indies.
My runner girls have wing shimmer, too.

Too bad you couldn't have gotten 2 they could keep each other company, chicks just aren't the same. But any way beautiful lil duckling, here is a link to caring for ducklings, it is a bit different than caring for chicks https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/750869/raising-and-caring-for-ducklings#post_10611711
I got my first duckling last month and she passed sway on Wednesday the 25. I didn't know about the infection she had. But what I've learned is that its best to have them with another duckling (I have two black Swedish now) . if not you need to be able to handle her calling for you once she imprints. Or him. They are very high maintenance and lots of attention required. I love them to death but I'm very happy to have two this time. I hope the forum Lydia gave you helps a bunch. They really grow on you <3Hello , I just received a duckling. I know nothing about duck. HeLP. I am hatching chicks so it is in with them. Anything special about duckling as opposed to chicks? I am told it is a black muscovy.
Thanks for any advice.

Herman is a Cayuga mix. His wings are just like my Cayugas, they shimmer green,blue, and even purple in the sun. Cayuga ducks are solid black, with black bill and feet, so Herman is a Cayuga mix. He is gorgeous.
I googled pivtures of Cayugas and found some mixes too- Herman is definitely a Cayuga/Magpie mix! Thank you for confirming for me! I adore Herman, he is so sweet, his wings are incredible! I can't wait to see how he comes into his colorsHerman is a Cayuga mix. His wings are just like my Cayugas, they shimmer green,blue, and even purple in the sun.
