Well, according to Holderread, the color pattern is not the right one for mini silver appleyards. There are also threads here on byc that say the same:
Australian Spotted vs Mini Silver Appleyards (Silver Bantams)

"The one with the brown head is a Mini Silver Appleyard. The other is a spot from a breeder in NH. They are both female."

Not trying to be difficult. It would be great to say "oh yah they're both appleyards."

Check this out, though:

Mini Appleyards (silver bantams), females have fawn hood, no eye stripes. Mini Appleyards in the UK have eye stripes and look like the US Aussie spotted. This is confusing...but basically, my understanding is that we dont have eye striped appleyard bantams in the US...
