With all due respect, any Ameraucana that does not fit a recognized, standard color is not an Ameraucana. Color is a characteristic of a breed and variety. If a "breed" does not have the correct color, it really can't be considered that breed. True purebred Ameraucanas must not only fit a recognized color pattern, but must also have blue slate legs (instead of the more common willow green found in most hatchery "Ameraucanas"), a beard, muffs, and lay blue eggs. While this bird may have a beard and muffs and could lay blue eggs in its future, it has neither the correct color pattern nor the blue legs of an Ameraucana. It will be a lovely, colored egg-laying chicken, but isn't an Ameraucana.I would call that an ameraucana, just not a standard color. Easter eggers are just blue egg layers crossed with anything. Typically lay more of a green egg.
