Not the same but what are they?

Pics
They should breed true. If the other one is an Orpington it looks like a blue with a bit of splashing in its feathers.
okay. I'll keep an eye on her. right now she looks very blue with a tiny tent of dark gray. I do have a splash olive egger (black copper maran and splash Ameraucana) the same age and the "splash" is VERY noticeable. She looks identical to a splash Ameraucana except with light feathering on her feet. Should a blue Orpington be showing the splash just as soon or is it more obvious in the olive egg at this age? (they are almost 8 weeks old)
 
It's not the prettiest picture but here you can see the color difference between the mystery bird and my lavender Orpington.

Oh, maybe she is a blue Orpington, I thought I saw some touches of white in her feathers.
 
I asked around and found someone else with a blue Orpington AND Andalusian pullet and hens and the verdicts is.... We are like 90% sure shes a Blue Orpington! :D
no pretty blue eggs but she (he?) is sure pretty. Here are some more photos I got of her this week. Thank you all for your help!
