Isbars and Welsummers are two relatively common clean-legged breeds that often lay speckled eggs. Since EEs are wonderful mutts, you could have mixes of either. Based on the pullet in the last photo, I'd bet on Welsummer.

Really pretty egg- hope you get lots more like it!
 
Are you regularly getting eggs this colour or is it an odd one?

If the latter, it could be the hen didn't lay enough colour on this particular egg. Sometimes you just get an egg that went wrong.

If the former, then unlikely to be Welsummer. They lay mid to dark brown eggs.
 
Looks like you have all pullets, mostly Easter Eggers. That egg could have come from anybody, because EE's quite commonly lay brown eggs. I don't see any Welsummers in your photos, and they tend to lay darker eggs, like someone already stated.
