I purchased this pullet as part of a group of 8 black sex links from my local feed store. I didn't notice until I got home that one of the eight had a white spot on its head (barred rock, and possibly a roo) and this one. I can find anything like it on feathersite. You can't tell in the pics, but the legs and feet have a slightly greenish hue.

Thanks in advance for your help.

My guess is EE too.

Looks exactly like one of my Easter Eggers. They come in many colors. HOwever, we have 3 that have a simular coloring to yours. Also, many of them have green feet and legs.
They lay blue, green, and even sometimes brown eggs. It is fun finding out what each one will lay.
 
It is Black Sex Link with more gold.Some ER (birchen) based girls show more brown.She has single comb,no beard-I do not think she is EE
 
Good point about the comb. In fact, my first thought was yours, a redder version of the BSL. The coloring is very similar to the reddish hackles on the other BSLs. But her body shape and head are different. She's rounder and shorter and her head is smaller. The green leg coloring is also throwing me off. Could she be a mutt?

If they are from feed store,they are from hatchery.Black Sex Links are mixes(muts).They look diferent because hatchery Barred Rocks from which they come are not uniform and can hide many diferent genes hiden behind E ( ER).Some sex links have green legs too.
