I Have recently acquired an australorp pullet who I assumed initially was a splash. However, she is pale grey in colour and almost looks lavender, with the exception of some black flecks in her feathers and some halfway black feathers, but no fully black feathers. Is she actually a splash or is she some variation of blue or lavender?

Parents could have been:
Hen: blue, black or splash
Rooster: blue or black
May be other genetics in there that im not aware of.
 
I'd say blue, just lighter and with some flecks on her.
My reasoning is we currently have a hen that's similar.

Blue can vary quite a bit, and hatchery quality blue looks different from show-quality blue
