Is this an EE?

I got a what I think is an EE Pullet said to be 10-12 weeks old. What does everyone think?
 
Looks like a leghorn. EE should have a beard of some sort in my experience

Some do. Some don't. My EE's have pea combs. Technically are my olive eggers EE's? Some say yes. Some say no. (I say they're hybrids.) But all my OE have straight combs. And have no EE in their background. You can get all kinds of genetics in EE's.
Leghorns should have yellow legs.
 
Could be. Since many EE's are mixes they come in different shapes and colors and sizes. Her legs look a bit pale, but that could be the light. I had some that looked like this (3/4 EE 1/4 Delaware) and laid pretty blue eggs. You'll know more when you see her eggs.
 
I don't see a single characteristic that would point to the bird being an Easter egger.

I'm a bit confused as to gender, also. I'm thinking I'm seeing saddle feathers, but the comb doesn't match. Can we get a better comb shot?
