Call Duckling color - Butterscotch? Pastel?

[AngeJD]

I have figured out the colors for the rest of the hatch, but this one stumped me.

It's the lone one without blue markings, the rest are blue fawn, blue bibbed, and blue pied, with a grey mallard. I see some silver on the head, so can't be white? So is the silver pastel? Or maybe I'm blind and it's got warm tones, and maybe it's a butterscotch? They look really similar to me. Either way, I am in love with this baby - he/she is typey and I'm going to keep him/her to breed next year, but would help if I could figure out what color it is! Roundest little head and puffed out cheeks, and super short legs...waddles comically.

And while we're talking about colors, has anyone been able to breed out a lavender or lilac? What color combos to get there, and how many generations, you think?

Thanks in advance!

Edit - I don't know what the parents are, which would narrow it down. Eggs came from a breeder who let all her colors run together, and she has apricots, pastels and butterscotch running with her blues.

What a cutie! She may be a silver. Here's a pic of a silver runner duckling. The coloring looks similar.

Thank you! Am googling what they look like as adults now!

I dont believe that is a silver. I breed silver call ducklings and I’ve never had one come out that looks like that.
my guess would be pastel. Butterscotches typically have much darker and more defined markings as ducklings.
