Breed Identification help needed!!

Just for my own education, what makes everyone think this is an EE? The comb looks rose, not pea. The legs are yellow, not green. The earlobe feathers are not backwards.
 
From what we can all see.... it looks very much a pea comb! If it IS an EE cross..... it could very well have an oddish kind of pea comb.

I am going based on the fact that it closely resembles an EE as a chick and the shape, coloring as an adult.

They do not always have green legs, especially if they have been crossed.

There are not a lot of breeds with the muff and beard..... It doesn't look like an Orloff and is definitely NOT an Ameraucana or Faverolle.

The coloring looks like a classic EE color/pattern.

That is why I am saying EE or EE cross.

She's an easter egger of the yellow legged, muffed & bearded line. If you're lucky she'll have retained the "blue" gene and will lay you pretty green eggs.

I love her coloring. I have a couple that look similar but they have slate legs.

An EE is not a pure bred bird. There is no standard and they cannot be shown. They can have a variety of leg and feather colors. You will rarely see a recognized feather pattern on an EE. Yes, that does appear to be a pea comb, not a rose comb. EEs do not get the backward tufts that a true aracauna would. An EE is simply a bird that, at some point in the past, had, most often, ameraucana (or sometimes aracauna) heritage, and therefore bares a slight resemblance to them, and also why they lay green eggs

Thanks for all of your replies! Most of you said she is an Easter Egger, so I think she is one too, once again, thanks for your replies!
