In the APA standard of perfection they look closest to Snowy Call Ducks- but there are a lot of differences.

Ya I was looking at that but I still couldn't tell I looked at varities that were not in the standard and I think they might be buttersotch.

I would guess they are Butterscotch. I don't raise ducks, but check it out on the feathers site. Pastel's the female would be more solid coloured. If they were Snowy they would be both coloured more like wild mallards with more white on the male.

they are butterschotch. i have them as well, but im thinking your hen is a bit too light for sg.
and schipper: butterscotch is supposed to be exactly the same as snowy except for in pastel colors. MR Sheraw who wrote the call duck book said that he made the butters by crossing snowy and pastel
