What color is this

I wonder, since you got a Partridge out of the same eggs, if she isn't splash silver partridge, which would account for her lack of splashes over her body. She is quite pretty either way!

What color could I cross her with to try and determine what she actually is? I have a black split to chocolate and a paint split to chocolate from another breeding pen. Or is there a specific color that I should get to cross with her to test?

Silkies are tough because of that silkied feathering generally making it hard to discern patterns from color leakage. I think you'd have to look at chick down to tell. I would wager that crossing her to a regular Partridge or silver partridge (/I think they're called Gray in the U.S.?) male could give you some answers; if the chicks look like regular Blues when they hatch (blue-gray all over, maybe with a white patch on the chest and belly), then she's a Splash with less splash markings, but if the chicks look like Partridge or Gray chicks at hatch (brownish with stripes), then she's a splash silver partridge.

That said, I am far from an expert on Silkie patterns, so I would defer to one of the other posters with more Silkie experience if they have a different answer to that question.

Thanks!
I did have one chick with faint chipmunk stripes that it lost and I lost track of which chick it grew into. It could be this one! I'll add a few chick photos of the faint one here.

Any input on the color of the other chipmunks would be great too! The one with red patches is a cockerel as is the satin.

Here's the faint chipmunk chick


Here's a satin partridge (?)

Silkie partridge (?) Light but still darker than the first chic

Any ideas what color this chick can be? It came from a BBS pen, but I hatched BBS, plus partridge and this chick.
