Thanks for all the info everyone! We haven't gotten an egg from her yet but I am anxious to see what color it is!

That's not Brown Red. Brown Reds have the same coloring as a Black Copper Marans. Hens are black with some brown, red, or gold in the neck and chest; nowhere else. The lack of muffs and beard are enough to show that she isn't Ameraucana, though.

Well I have a chicken that looks exactly like that, and the breeders said that she was an ameraucana.

 

[Ameraucanas]

Does that mean that she actually is not?

That's exactly what it means.

Lots of people buy hatchery Ameraucana, not realizing that they are actually Easter Eggers. Then they breed their hatchery sourced birds and sell the chicks,insisting that their stock are pure Ameraucana, because that's what they think the hatchery sold them. They don't actually bother to check out the breed standard and learn more about them.
To learn more about true Ameraucana, and what they are supposed to look like check out this site.

Brown red is one of the rarest colors to find in true Ameraucana, silver and buff being the others. Black, blue, white, wheaten and blue wheaten are becoming more popular and are easy to find with a minimal amount of searching.

Well our mystery girl gave us a beautiful pale blue egg today.

That's wonderful!! I would have pegged her for a green or brown egger, I'm happy for you she lays blue
