Can anyone identify this girl?

Ugh...McMurray has struck again...but for the first and last time at our house. I THOUGHT I knew exactly what she was...until I realized I had no clue what she is. I have spent so. many. hours. pouring over thousands of photos...and I have NO CLUE what she is. I even checked, double checked, triple & quadruple checked McMurray's list of birds. She came in our Ameraucana order...(none of which were actual Ameraucanas, surprise surprise) and she seems to be the SOLE hen we got in our order!! Ugh. So, she was a beautiful chipmunk chick, the poster child for the silver ameraucana chicks...she looked EXACTLY like the photos, so there was no doubt in our minds. Her feathers came in exactly how we expected them to as well. Our first doubt came when she appeared to be double breasted, unlike our real ameraucana chicks (from a breeder). Then she wasn't growing muffs or a beard (silvers tend to grow slower than the other colors, so we're still good, right?) Then I noticed those black dots on her chest...well those definitely shouldn't be there. Then it hit me...we unchecked the mystery chick box...we weren't supposed to get any extra chick or any mystery chick...but we did. We had an extra chick we didn't order. So, we're thinking she's either a clean faced EE, or she's a mystery chick. Either way, my mind is just dying to know...Tia!

She looks like an EE. I believe McMurray does have pure blue Ameraucanas, but they don’t sell silver ones, and anything marketed as such that you get from there is an Easter Egger.

Thanks! Sounds about right lol. I was hoping since she was clean faced she would turn out to be something else...just maybe, bc who doesn't need just 1 more random chicken breed in their flock? But those black splotches on her breasts were a dead giveaway...now my mind is racing with all the possibilities she could be...I only have about 2 months before she starts to lay her first eggs...but idk that I'm going down the genetic wormhole with her...I'll just enjoy her odd beauty for now.

Silver is a dominant gene, so even if the bird only has one copy instead of two, the silver will express. You can tell she is mixed because of all of the red leakage and the brown feathers. True silvers will only be black and white. She is a beautiful girl though.

She looks like an Easter egger to me, too. Maybe a Legbar type or maybe something like Whiting True Blue, if they still sell thosel
