Is she an Ameraucana?

Also her legs are a lot darker than they appear due to the flash of the camera, kind of a dark grey

Hi, welcome to BYC!

If it's either (I haven't seen the wings come in striped before), it is likely an Easter Egger. People who sell Ameraucana will ALWAYS know what color they are breeding (black, blue, lav, wheaten). The places that do sell EE as Am say "it's a representation" of the breed.

When you look at the bottom of the feet, they look yellow to me? If that is true, definitely not Am as their skin is white (might look pink on feet bottom) I believe even though the shanks should be slate. Anyways, looking at the bottom of the feet can tell you what color skin you are looking at. Ameraucana are great birds, but make no mistake, I love EE too!

Easter Egger. Ameraucana are always sold with a color/variety specified. If no color/variety is specified, it's a safe bet it's a misrepresented Easter Egger.
