what color is this silkie?

[hoppy]

the one in the first post that's a calico, and I did get lavender babies from him and the mom of this bird is split lav. but dad is white or black. I was thinking silver based birchen but this speckling silver on the chest throws me.

It would be a birchen if the silver was more pronounced. The whole neck would need to be a silver color. I have a couple here just like it. I don't think there is a name for this color. I think they just call it color leakage.
