Does anyone know what colour this little bantam chick will turn out?

Last pics are mum and dad
Put some eggs in the incubator and have had some beautiful colours but really want to know what colour/what this one might look like when an adult

Thanks :)

She looks to be incomplete quail. Quail is columbian and Melanized on a gold duckwing base. Considering her parents that tracks.
Her father just looks like lavender gold duckwing, I don’t see Ml, but I guess he has Ml in there somewhere.

Father has no colored wing bar, he's birchen based.
 
Oh you’re right, I thought I saw some straw coloring on his wing bay but now I see it is gray.
Columbian and gold birchen should make that color of offspring but I don’t believe there’s a name for the color, though.
Calculator says black patterned gold necked Birchen, or Brown Red.
 
Oops no I was wrong, dark brown does that, not columbian. Birchen is epistatic to columbian.
Yeah, I guess it’s just got leakage due to the partridge side.
 
According to the Kippenjungle birchen page it will probably have a good amount of gold edging on the feathers and if female, it may have some stippling as well.

Any sons of that hen would show silver, but this chick shows gold, so this chick must be female. (Assuming no mixups about which hen is really the mother.)
