What is a "splash" chicken?

Generally a splash should have a LOT of contrast. Background colour can indeed be blue, but one or two darker blue feathers do not make the bird splash. Lots of darker blue splotches do. Here are some splashes:

Hi, could you please enlighten me concerning this chick - presumed male-? Is he a true bred splash araucana or a barnyard mix? I have a flock of true araucana chickens in one coop and a mix of hens with an araucana roo at another and I don't know where this one came from.
I'm new to color genetics. None of my araucanas is splash nor do I have any white hen at my coops -except for a leghorn one.
