The one is a blue pied and the other looks like a chocolate pied.
The could both contain the white head gene instead of the pied?
I don't know much about waterfowl... just been reading about the muscovy color genes.

The front is a blue pied as KRL says, the back one looks like a blue/chocolate cross, she is not a pure chocolate pied or she would be much darker brown.

I was able to pick up these 2 and 3 from Ty. One of the ones from Ty escaped the first night I got them so now I have these two and a choc pied and a lav pied. They will be paired with my black pied drake.

I was pretty sure the darker one was a blue pied but was not possitive what to call the other. If I understood the people i got them from the lighter one is a daughter to the blue but not sure what the drake was

I also wondered whether she could possibly be a poorly marked ripple as from what I read the can be blue black brown or lavender. At times her brown can look a little like she is marbled But it is really hard to show this in pics
