Could Mahogany conceal Silver dilute?

[thinkofsomethingfunny]

Hello good people,
I have been trying to determine my flock's biological family tree and have stumbled across a slightly confusing conundrum. I had a silver hen and no heterozygous silver roosters, which if I understand correctly should mean she could only have gold/heterozygous rooster chicks. However, that did not happen and she had a homozygous silver rooster.
My only explanation beyond divine conception is that the father might have been mahogany which resulted in the single silver and mahogany kind of cancelling each other out? Which would give him the appearance of a normal red rooster while still having silver to pass on. However I could not find any information on whether this is possible.
So is this possible? or have I misunderstood something or overlooked a different explanation?
Any ideas welcome and appreciated.

Silver is still pretty much dominant, or semi-dominant over Mahogany.

Silver plus Mahogany creats a cream colored bird with red shoulders in males. Females would be creamy in color, & maybe have abit more scattered red in breast feathers, & extension into some of the other feathers, but are still overall lighter in tone then males.
