Looks like a Phoenix hen to me. I used to have 3. Pretty little birds

Silver Phoenix (assuming she has a single comb) pullet - with silver duckwing varieties the pullets/hens will be colored like this one while the roos will be primarily black with silver hackles and saddle feathers (and a couple of other places that I can't recall at this point). Roos will also have pointy saddle feathers (across the back right in front of the tail)as well as pointy hackle feathers.

I'm going to say Phoenix hen too due to her tail feathers because I don't know another chicken that has a tail like that and I don't thing she's a pea hen or guinea and I think she's a hen because her neck feathers look like my OEGB girls nice and round not pointy like my boys and her coloring is more muted like most of my girls are compared to their roo counterparts and her feathers don't seem the have that sheen that roo feather have as they get older

Definitely a silver pullet by coloring. And probably a Phoenix since her tail is so long.

That was why in my post I stated "assuming she has a single comb". Since that is one of the primary differences between Phoenix and Yokohama in identifying via a photo, that's a tid bit of information that the guessers would need. I think silver Phoenix are more common than silver Yokohamas and that is why everyone was saying Phoenix. They are still lovely birds no matter which breed they are.
