What color would you say this bantam Cochin chick will be?

I've researched and gone through so many pictures of baby bantam Cochin chicks, and I can't quite nail it down. Originally, I thought maybe just a buff or white bantam Cochin, but I realize this one has a blackish beak, and her(maybe his) coloring isn't uniform. There are some spots that look nearly white, some almost lavender, a little yellow, a little buff. I thought maybe a splash or something, and then I found out there's such a thing as Isabel, so now I'm thinking possibly that? I've never had a bantam Cochin before and I'm super stoked to have one now, but I'm so curious as to what his/her coloring might turn out to be. I tried to take as many photos as I could for you guys, but my BSL kept trying to interfere, so they might not be the greatest. Lemme know what you think!

Not convinced that this is a bantam cochin. Looks like a hatchery quality buff silkie to me

I was literally just wondering if I was even correct in thinking it was a bantam cochin at all lol, thank you for your input! That also would make sense! Is it the little tuft on her head and the fact that the "feathers" on the legs are smooth and fluffy instead of actual feathers that tipped you off? I've obviously never had a silkie before either lol.

White Silkie.

White Silkie.

Thank you! That makes sense now about the black feet and legs that were throwing me off. I got her from an assorted bantam mix at TSC, so I figured no way would I have gotten a silkie there, but I stand corrected! I love silkies, too, so I'm happy either way!

Just alittle heads up about the TSC/Hoover's Silkies. They're not Bantams. I raise this type, & they can get upto 5lbs.

It wouldn't surprise me. They sold me 3 BCM's as bantams even though I argued with them and told them I believed they were marans. Oh well, I guess. The other 3 "bantams" I ended up with I believe are one golden seabright, one silver seabright, and a sweet little porcelain d'uccle. Win some, lose some I guess, lol.

Currently at ours they've got Cornish X in a bin marked Leghorn.
