F being fawn...she is not fawn
OB...no orange in the tail bars only silver. Under her wings unless there is orange there I would say no to split to OB
not lightback since the tail bars are silver not full strength.
She is likely either recessive silver or Florida silver.... from efinch.com "The Recessive Silver looks very much like the single factor Florida Fancy (called Florida Silvers). The Florida Fancy however is generally a lighter colored bird and the diluted black markings are generally lighter in color than in the Rec. Silver. In the males the breast bar can be diluted to nearly the color of the wings and back. It can be more difficult to determine the hens however. Between the Rec. Silver, the Dominant Silver and the single factor Florida Fancy, the hens can all look very similar, but will all have different methods of inheritance."
Below are two Florida silver hens...notice the tear...it is faded to the color of the body feathers, FS will have tears that are almost visible.
Compare it to the Recessive silver hen on efinch

Only way to see what she carries is if she is FS and you breed her to a normal then you should get some visual FS in clutches...if recessive silver then the offspring will be spilt to RS. FS is co Dominant.
