Duck Identification

Can someone please help me identify the black duck with a white chest in this photo? It was supposed to be a female khaki campbell, but appears to me to be a male of an unknown breed

Looks like a Cayuga cross Indian Runner.  Or could be Black Swedish.

I'll second on that being a Black Swedish drake. Or, at least, predominantly so. The black body, white chest, green head, olive bill, and black/orange feet are certainly all consistent.

At any rate, he would blend in perfectly with my own flock

It certainly looks like it has both Black Swedish and Runner in it -- it's not purebred anything, though.

i would agree on that you have a black swedish x runner, though i'm no expert. but what a gorgeous duck!

I have cayuga x magpie crosses that look the same, just not as slender. My magpie x blue Swedish look the same, just blue. So maybe yours is black Swedish x runner or cayuga x runner. I haven't studded up on the complexities of duck color genetics, though, so I don't know if a cayuga with a runner would give the white chest/"bib"...

Thanks everyone! He's a really good duck. I don't know much about Indian runners, I'm more familiar with the other breeds. He's a good forager and gets along well with everyone
