If the eyes are red it is a albion lacewing. If the eyes are black with no irus ring it is a black eyed clear.

My first thought was a dilute of white suffusion (or Black-Eyed Self as some call it). It is not albino as the eyes are dark with an iris ring, and not a lacewing as those have brown markings and red eyes as well. She is a lovely hen.

That is exactly what I tought Rainbow, do you read french by any chance! :) Personnaly I am interested in the "mechanics" of genetics but identifying mutation is not my thing. Thanks, I can't wait to see what the others will say.

No, I can't speak French at all! :) I have an interest in genetics too, I find it fascinating.

It's not a DEC becuase of the iris ring.

 

I'm with Rainbow in thinking she is a dilute.

I believe it is a grey wing black eye white. Most show birds are Cinnamon Black Eye as it make the wing markings almost invisible. She looks like a grey wing if you look at the pale cheek patches, grey spots and the colour of the feet.

 

ETA: oh and she is possibly an opaline as well.

 

ETA: (or DEC) as this is incorrect. The black eye variety have iris rings and DEC do not.

again the sign of an iris ring (which can be seen in the first picture) rules out DEC's they do not get them.
