Silkie Color Help

So I have a broody hen hatching some eggs rn, I put one of my black silkies(only silkie female) eggs underneath her and it is halfway out of its shell. However from what I can tell it is a white/light colored chick. It’s not fully out or dry so I’ll update when I have better pictures, but I’m wondering how that could happen with the Roos I have. So there are 4 she is with most of the time, those being A silver Colombian silkie, a red Pyle silkie, a silver partridge silkie and a salmon favorelle x lavender Orpington mix. The silkies are the closest ones, but the babies skin is pink and none of my silkies have pink skin. The silver Colombian has a red comb however. Now I also have a lavender Orpington x white leghorn roo and a cuckoo Maran roo. The silver Colombian is her main buddy so I feel like he is the highest possibility but from what I understand she would have to have hidden genes to produce a light baby with him so I’m just not sure. Here is a pic of the chick so far.
Updated: she does have little black markings on her booty if that helps.

Update again: she has a black tail puff, 5 toes and feathered feet, but her skin is pink.
My salmon favorelle lavender Orpington mix has 5 toes feathered feet and has pink skin on his face. But his feet are light gray/pink on the bottom. The lavender Orpington x white leghorn is full white(his sisters are white with black leakage spots) and had pink skin all around, and then the cuckoo Maran roo has feathered feet, and pink skin as well.

May I ask what the chick looks like now? Sorry, I just came across this thread and I'm curious to see how it's feathering out.
Here is her now, idk if maybe my black silkie is impure(most likely) and she bred with the silver Colombian who had red skin, that’s my main theory rn but we will see when she starts getting more feathers in.
