Okay, I'm going to totally guess here, but I'm thinking it's an old english game pullet? Something about the shape of her head makes me think that, but just a guess!
 
it's not a Old english, or at least not a recognized color i have seen, and it's too big.. I usually know but this one has me puzzled. It doesn't have feathered legs, it's not a sexlink, it looks to have white or very light yellow legs... Could it be a cross? It appears to be more of a silver color than brown, maybe a black X silver crossing.. I don't know, maybe someone else will come along and find out.

ETA: after looking, i believe it is a silver penciled rock.. Pullet.

We got a rooster from Murray that was like this. It stayed smaller than the rest and we finally figured out is was a bantam. But we called it "Sparrow" because that's the closest thing it looked like. Then the feathers stared changing. A lot. It turned into a Silver-penciled Rock Bantam, on page 13 of the catalog. If you start to notice white stripes down the neck, as in the picture, and then dark green flashes along the wing tips and tail feathers, then this is what you have. They also have the full-size version on pg. 40. You didn't mention size in relation to the rest.
Hope this helps!
