It's looks like more than a EE without tail than a pure araucana. Pullet of course

She look part Arucana...she missing her tuffs to be a pure one. Otherwise so pretty!

Not all 'Araucanas' are tufted. Non tufted birds are important in the breeding program because of the associated lethal gene with tufted birds.

Araucanas often aren’t bred true to color.

Well, if you have a mixed color Rock, you wouldn’t still be calling it a Rock.
