Chick getting red splash on feathers

Im fairly new to chicken genetics and this chick started getting this gorgeous red splashing on their feathers. I know the dad is a Blue Ameraucana, but the mom is either a white ameraucana, gold laced barnevelder, or blue laced red wyandotte. Would any of these cause that sort of coloring or is it kind of a crapshoot to know?
