Black sex link or what?

Click on a picture then magnify. It's a single comb.

I tried. Maybe I'm just going blind.

How can one tell the difference between an Australorp and a black sex link? This chick looks a lot like my dominant copper (black sex link) when she was a chick.

For me it's the white. See the white flight feathers and the white fluff on her neck? Black Sex Links don't usually have the white feathers and they sometimes have some brown fluff like on their head. (Some might still have some white fluff, though not as much as an Australorp.) Also, a BSL typically has the copper in their hackles and/or around their heads. (Some have less copper than others.)

Australorps should have white/pinkish soles on their feet.

Black Sexlinks often have yellow soles on their fete, although certain crosses will have white/pink soles like the Australorps do.

So yellow soles means something (not-Australorp) but white/pinkish soles does not really help with figuring them out.
