who am I?

this hen is a bit over a year old. ordered 2 cuckoo marans, one of which is the typical almost barred mottle. the other gal (the one in question) lays a brown egg just as other marans do. she has an gorgeous feather pattern where the center of each feather, towards the shaft, is light grey and the outer feather is a dark grey/black. i fully understand this is most likely not a full bred hen. any speculators?

She is quite striking! I'm not sure what she is, the pattern looks like a muddy lacing with second generation barring, if that makes any sense. Looking foreward to what others think.

This hen looks like Specklady. This is Marans cross in UK

thanks for the input. i did do a photo search of specklady, and it is by far the closest to her feathering. cheers!
