Is my cream legbar chick actually a barnevelder?

I got 4 chicks from my local feed store awhile ago. Supposedly I got a blue copper Marans, Salmon Faverolles, blue laced red Wyandotte, and a creme legbar. I've been looking at other creme legbars and mine seems too dark, she's 7 weeks old. I think I remember the feed store also hatching out barnevelder chicks and she looks more like that. Any ideas? Thanks!

Here she is as a young chick.

Here's her comb today:

She doesn't have the red on the neck that i'm seeing in other gl wyandottes. Do GL wyandottes have iridescent feathers? I'm noticing that with her too.

I was told my blue laced red wyandotte's comb isn't standard either, So, I dunno, bad breeding? lol

I wouldn't say 'bad' breeding, I'd say 'hatchery' breeding.

This does look like it could be a barnie... but I'd lean more towards a partridge rock. Until she finishes the first molt so I can see what her feathers' pattern is, I couldn't be sure.
