The white one is a pekin, and I agree with Liam that the smaller one is mostly likely a cross

Okay. I don't think this duck is particularly domestic. A fully domestic duck would be the size of the Pekin (domestic Mallard) on the left, and a hybrid would be sort of in between. I would call it a Mallard hen of some strange molt. If you have any other pics of her, I would love to see them.

I'm thinking a domestic x wildtype hybrid on the smaller duck. If this was at a zoo, I could see it as an exotic duck.
