Personally I don't see any hint of barring(cuckoo), it does look like a partridge with the Silver gene. Silver prevents the expression of brown pigments, leaving black and white on the bird.
 
Its a grey, with a bit of rust coloring on the wings. In a generation or two, you could get the rust color out.

Awesome looking girl!
 
Thanks.......I had no idea.....I got these from a breeder in the area.
I like the color, just not sure what to call it.
 
I am going with silver. Like Kev said, it is partridge with silver added, more like a silver pencilled. The silkie people have a name for it, I just can't think of it right now.
