Hello all I have this Olive egger that seems to have a wyandotte looking-ish golden laced head with a black body. The black body does have hues of green and blue sheen in the sun. I would like ideas on what breeds could have made her, thanks!

Note she’s not fully grown yet probably 18-20 weeks? Not sure if she’ll ever have some tail feathers either

Black copper Marans looks to be one half of the cross and where the main pattern comes from.. other breeds do call the pattern different stuff.. no Wyandotte there that I can see.

Something pea combed.. probably an Easter egger for the "blue" part.. I'd expect to see a beard if it was pure Ameraucana, but could be mistaken. It would have a straight comb if it were cream Legbar with the first stated suspect in my line up. Looks more like a modified pea than a rose comb.. to me, but again, I'm just guessing.

Is she from a specific hatchery or a back yard, etc?

Thanks for the insight, she’s from a backyard farm so my other Olive egger is pure black no golden head got them at the same time same age.
 
She appears to be rumpless, so one parent could have been Araucana, which is a rumpless breed. I would say it's pretty certain that a black copper Marans is the other parent, because they have a similar color to yours and also the feathered legs.

My bet is on a large dose of Ayam Cemani based on the face and if there are black feathers that shine purple and green in the sun then I am 100% sure. The rest of the mix could be a golden laced wyandotte…I agree…but legbars have this coloration too
If she lays green eggs then mom was a legbar…because brown eggs (ayam) plus blue eggs (legbar) equal green eggs….if she lays brown eggs then mom was a wyandotte or other brown egg layer
