Cuckoo Marans or Dominique (or . . .?)?

[Schrebergaertner]

We got this girl from MyPetChickens. Ordered a Cuckoo Marans, but I've done a little checking, and I think a Marans is supposed to have a single comb. Hers looks more like a strawberry or pea. Also, we're pretty sure she's laying light brown eggs, not the dark ones we wanted from a Marans. Doing a little more checking, I think her coloring and that comb might mean she's a Dominique. Any thoughts from you experts out there? She's a good girl and laying well (hatched 5/23, so she's 6 months old), so we're not disappointed in any event. Just curious about her breed. Thanks!

Thanks, everyone. Still new at this, and so far happy to roll the dice with hatcheries. Probably someday we'll get serious and try to find breeders.

In case it makes a difference, here are a couple with her whole body:

On this one she's in the background behind one of our BRs and a couple of our RIRs (with proper single combs!).

Rose, I stand corrected! Learning tons here, thanks!

Definitely a dominique.
