We thought this was a RI Red when we got her as a chick. Now we aren't sure of breed. I'm 90% sure she is a pullet, but doesn't look like a RI. Please pardon the pictures, she was ready for bed and I had to take her in the garage for enough light to get a pic.

Here is another pic where you can see her face better. Very small comb! But, it is black not red like a RI

Agree you have a pullet that's not a Red. If she came from a hatchery, I'd say maybe a Welsummer, although she really doesn't fit that quite right. A pea comb might make me think clean faced EE. Knowing leg color would help narrow things down as well.
 
The legs are mostly yellow with some gray spots.

You can see a bit here, another bad outside picture that was too dark :) she wasn't happy and just wanted to go to bed!
We have an EE and once they started feathering looked similar, but as a chick this one was a perfect full brown and the EE looked like a duck! Hence, my kids naming them Brownie and Duckie. Her head is much darker than the EE now, but we could always tell them apart by the legs (brownie has yellow and Duckie grey). Another EE would be welcome, but just not sure...
