I bought her in an Atwood’s in Oklahoma. She is black and yellow and her legs and beak are spotted. She also has a little bit of hair that pokes up at the back :)

I would guess more along the lines of an Ancona myself (I have Magpie, they shouldn't have facial markings), but at this age it's really difficult to tell. I'm quite certain it's not a Muscovy, though.

Atwoods (last I heard) gets their ducklings in from Ideal and they only have Magpies no Anconas. However, their Magpie lines are more marked as ducklings. Anconas in general should be more random/sparsely marked with less black as ducklings compared to a Magpie.

I wouldn't call that an 'Ideal' Magpie, lol. Any markings beyond the cap, back, and tail are considered faults. If this is what they carry though, then that's probably what the duckling is.
