Oh know this is silly, but why do I have 2 white eggs when I only have one white egg layer?

I have:
2 australorps
2 wynadottes
1 red sex link
1 barred rock
1 cream legbar bar
1 brown leghorn

I understand where one of the white eggs is coming from, but the other I have no clue. The cream leghorn is laying teal-ish green eggs and has been consistently doing this, and unless shes been laying multiple eggs a day, it can’t be her.

All except the sex link is around couple of months old, started laying in October. The only one I noticed not laying is potentially my one of my wynadottes but she should be a brown layer, right? She’s the only one that I know never laid yet.

None of the birds are sick and they don’t sound sick either. i double checked them to make sure, but i don’t think they are.
 
Most likely, they're both from the same pullet/hen (leghorn) but from different days. Sometimes eggs get hidden well, even in a nest box.

Unlikely but not impossible- what the person above mentioned
Or, a brown layer didn't add any pigment one day

Are the eggs the same shape, and roughly the same size?
Are both really white? (Not meant to be an offense, but I have seen some people mistake light tinted/cream for white, and some pale blue eggs look white in certain lighting.)
