Chick breed question - supposed to be a Blue Polish, but looks Gold Laced

In my experience pure polish arenā€™t bearded.
never seen a pure with a beard.
I donā€™t really trust google.

I agree about not trusting google, but I consider hatchery websites to be a pretty good source of information for what kinds of chickens are actually being produced and sold.

There are lots of bearded Polish on hatchery websites, and specific mention of beards in some descriptions.

For example:
https://www.idealpoultry.com/product/1425/61
Ideal Poultry page for Gold Laced Polish has photos of a hen with a beard and a rooster without. The chick photo has two with beards and one I think without.

McMurray Hatchery's page for Buff Laced Polish says, "Our Buff Laced Polish come in two varieties: bearded and non-bearded. However, we do not list them separately. Orders will usually include some of both."
(I thought they listed that under all the color varieties, but I don't see it on the pages for some of their other colors of Polish. Based on the photos they provide, it appears they do have both bearded and non-bearded for quite a few of them and maybe all of them.)

Hoovers hatchery has photos of Golden Laced Polish with beards. I don't think I see any clean-faced ones in their photos.

On Cackle Hatchery's page for Golden Laced Polish Chicks, I click on "description" and find it includes this: "This rare breed chicken features a beard, a crest of feathers, and visually appealing gold, black, and brown coloring."
They have a lot of photos, and I didn't look at them all, but I didn't see any clean-faced ones at all, just beards.
 
Here is an updated photo. Iā€™m thinking BLG Polish for sure.
