Is my Speckled Sussex actually an Americauna?

I got what I thought were four Speckled Sussex chicks from a breeder. They all looked the same when I picked them up, but now that they are growing their feathers I noticed that this chick just isn't like the others - it has no white on the tips and it's legs have a sickly green tinge to them. Thoughts?

Sorry for the bad quality on the pictures, I used my ancient camera phone. What will this chick look like when fully grown? Or am I crazy and it really is a SS?

Looks like an Easter egger to me, I believe true americaunas have green legs, this ones kinda look yellow like my EEs. Speckled Sussex have little white spots over an almost tan brown color. Adorable either way!

I know the other three are SS, they have the tell-tale white "rows" on their wings. This chick's legs are more green in person, but certainly still have a yellow undertone.
