Unfortunately, if by "duplicate" you mean "bit-for-bit identical", there is no candidate solution that involves capture filters, as capture filters are stateless - you couldn't write a filter that just looks at the bits of the packets and eliminates duplicates.
If they're *not* bit-for-bit identical, and, for example, the source or destination MAC addresses differ, you might be able to use that.
