Lemon Cuckoo something?

I thought this chick was a Delaware at first, but then she got more yellowy. A friend suggested she was a Lemon Cuckoo Marans. Thoughts?

Its as if she has light barring under the hackles. Thats probably not what it is though...

Glad I came upon this thread. I will be watching as the movie unfolds. I know she isn't a Maran due to the shank and skin color though.

She is barred all over. What in the world...

She looks Lemon Columbian Cuckoo to me (if that's what you call it.)

Or Citron Columbian Cuckoo?

Okay - citron is diluted gold. That's my guess - diluted gold (citron) columbian, with barring.
This is a VERY interesting bird. I have never seen this pattern. She's a keeper!

She’s barred silver columbian (color of a Delaware) plus autosomal red. I’ve seen this coloring a few times in lakeshore eggers, which are legbar mixes: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/lakeshore-egger-pullet-or-cockerel.1334039/. Where did you get her?
