What breed of polish is she?

I put up a post about Puff before but nobody knew. So I am hoping to get some answers. She is non bearded. Her name is Puff. She lays a white egg.

She is to the left.

hmmm, never seen one quite like that, but i think it is a mottled houden.

Not a Polish, I' m afraid.
Looks like hatchery quality mottled houdan, I agree.
Pretty girl though.

Looks like a Spitzhauben to me, or something similar.

Mottled Houdans are black with white mottling. Not white will black mottling.

But doesn't a Spitzhauben have a different type of top hat?

The variety looks like hatchery quality spangling (not the OEG mottling on BBR, but rather as in silver spangled hamburgs).

Breed looks to be either spitzhauben (in which spangled is a common variety). As shown on feathersite.com:

or houdan, in which spangling is not a common variety. Also from feathersite:

welp, you're all wrong. It is a polish, though lower end on the quality deal, but extremely rare. It is a Black Crested White Polish.
Here's a couple pics of mine in bantam

These are our mottled houdan bantams, huge difference
