Identifying Breed

I guess you mean what variety the chicken is, not the breed.
The breed is the shape, skin color and temperament. The variety is the feather pattern, leg color and comb type.
There are some breeds like Ameraucana that come in 8 or so varieties. Hamburgs come in Silver-Spangled, Golden-Spangled, Golden-Penciled, Silver-Penciled, White and Black. Leghorns, most common variety is white but come in at least 9 other varieties.
Wyandottes come in at least 12 varieties.
From that picture, I can't see the shape, comb, legs, etc. to identify the breed. It may be a gold laced something or other.

She looks similar to the brown leghorns we have but doesn't have the same feathering around the neck. Here is a bad picture of the head....sorry for the confusion, newbie chicken owners 🤪
I am tempted to say it's a barnevelder but that could be WAY wrong. Thanks for your input!
