Black Sex link or Black Copper Maran?

She has an incredible green sheen on her black feathers and pretty reddish brown color around the neck. Super soft feathers and very fluffy under the tail. Lightly feathered black shanks. She is super talkative and pretty brave. Easiest to catch and hold. Sold to me as BCM, but now not so sure.

I see some slight feather stubbling on her legs. She might be a BCM. She is a beautiful bird in excellent condition.

I'm dying for her to lay her first egg! She does the submissive squat, giant comb and wattles.... come on now!

Marans have white skin, any black sex link I've seen from hatchery are yellow skin. Bottoms of her feet are probably white/pink. My guess anyway since she's got some feathering on legs.

Well to add some intrigue... she just laid her first egg and it was blueish-green. Beautiful color! But not a Maran color and not from what I can tell a BSL color either! What do you all think now? I'm totally confused!
