Dominate vs Recessive White Gene

Your pullet is inheriting the Extended Black gene from the Lavender Ameraucana and the Heterozygous white gene from the production red hen, so she does in fact has a "Paint" pattern, the pattern is also called Erminette

Erminette breed from post https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/erminette.1052718/page-2#post-16307994

Great, thanks. That's about what she looks like.

This is her yesterday. The faint red you see is from the red clay we have here, it's been raining nearly every day for several weeks so all of my birds are filthy

True, though from the mother she will have received a gene for a second e-series, presumably wheaten. The red will show through; the throat in particular has that tinge.

She's a lovely bird, though, and ought to lay nice big green eggs. I have several from a similar cross; Lav Araucana over RSL.

I made a very general statement on her phenotype(confirmed with the picture posted before yours), I really did not want to get into details of her likely genotype, which should be E/eWh, Co/co+, I/i+, I don't see any read leakage(aside from the Mud) so she could be Silver based.
