Is this an Ameraucana or something else?

I honestly have no clue lol! I'm assuming that it's spelled Ameraucana because that's the most common spelling I see probably ☺️ I never know if the "au" comes after the C or before the C though😅
That spelling is for the pure breed, the au is before the C. 😁
I just wasn't sure how the other name for Easter eggers is spelled, if its Americana or Americauna, lol!

Yes, another name you’ll see is Americana/Americauna. 🤣Hatcheries will call them that instead of Easter Egger to make people think they’re getting the true Ameraucana breed.
 
For info on true Ameraucana, there are two breed club/associations.

And now I see why less than reputable places call EE's Ameraucana... They are gorgeous birds!
 
I know these aren't the greatest shots, I did what I could.

The darker colored one in the back is the one I'm curious about because she doesn't look like the 3 other Ameraucanas (only one other is in that picture)

Slightly better side view.

So, what do you all think? Or am I such newbie at this and Ameraucana have different wildly different patterns?
Looks like you have all Easter eggers. The correct spelling of the true breed is Ameraucana. Unfortunately, many use alternate spelling or even accurate spelling to sell Easter egger mixed breed birds. True Ameraucanas are recognized in only 10 colors. They must have muffs and beards, pea combs, and slate colored legs. Pictures are on the Ameraucana breeders website. Cackle Hatchery is the only one that sells Ameraucanas bred to standard.
