what breed is my rooster

He looks kind of like a Sussex to me.
I think this is either an Easter Egger or Ameraucana. There is a small "muff" under the chin. That's not Sussex but is either of the previous two. Now the bird is carrying either a white gene or a silver gene. I think it's got the silver gene because I am not seeing any evidence of colored underfluff or black outside of the hackle and tail and wings. The Columbian gene is present with one dose .If there were 2 doses, the hackle would be blacker . Could be a cross between a Light Sussex and a white ( silver based) Ameraucana?
Regardless of what it is genetically, that is one nice looking bird! Congrats!
Best,
Karen
