Is this a Dark Brahma?

I got a chicken form a local who didn’t know what breed it was. We named her Mama P and integrated her to our flock. She has the exact feathering of a dark Brahma, except she dosn’t have feathered legs. Ideas?

(Her previous owner said she layed a brown egg, but she quit laying when she moved, probably due to stress)

She could still be a dark brahma. The feathers on the legs may have broken off/been pecked. My crew aims for feet when trying to move a stubborn lower ranked bird along the roost. I'd wait for her to moult and see if the legs feather back out.
 
Thank you everyone! She does not have leg feathers; I looked at her legs and they are smooth and slick, not like the legs of a feathered-leg breed. I probably should have thought to check the comb, oops, but I’m glad I included the head shot.
