Is my 7 month old hen a wheaten maran?

I have a 7 month old chicken that I have always assumed is a wheaten maran because she looks alot like one. Is she?
(The eggs in the picture look lighter than they actually are)

Looks like a production red.

I have looked that up before and to me she does look alot like a production red, but I think her egg is too dark brown.

That looks like the correct egg color to me for a Rhode island red derived breed. A marans egg would be much darker and the bird would have pink legs.

Do you think she could be a new Hampshire red?

That's possible. I haven't personally owned the breed so I can't be certain.
