is this lavender araucana?

The color looks like Isabel (Lavender Wheaton) to me. Not all Araucana are rumpless some do have tails. They also can have ear tuffs and can have small crests. However, if you breed ear tuff to ear tuff I believe it causes a lethal gene.
US style has tufts and rumpless (though birds can be born without either or both traits). Tufted to tufted does indeed kill off the homozygous tufted chicks
British style has muffs, crest and tail.
 
This is not an araucana. Araucanas are double tufted like this one, single tufted or clean faced. They have no other added feather.on the face like Americanas do.

Different countries, different standards. This is my blue Araucana that follows the British(tailed)/Australian/New Zealand standard, which should have a crest, muff/beard and tail.
