Hi, any advice would be really appreciated, I've been trying to find out what breed Holly is for awhile. I thought she might be a chinchilla rabbit or crossbreed, but her furs quite dark.

Edit: she weighs 4.4 pounds and is around 18 months old.

Her color is called opal. It is blue agouti based with otter like markings (hence the tan triangle on the nape of the neck). It's hard to tell what breed she is. Do you know how much she weighs? She doesn't look too young also
 
She weighs 4.4 pounds, checked earlier but forgot to add it. She's around 1 & 1/2 years old so I don't know if she'll get any bigger.
 
I know :/ I've found a few rabbit breeds with almost exact fur marks/lighter tones in the same places and colours. 'opal' british giant, chinchilla. she's similar in size as my holland lop rabbit, so the giant rabbit isn't likely but the ones I found even have the same mark on the back of the neck.
 
The color opal isn't a defining color and is recognized in many breeds unfortunately. So just because a breed comes in that color it could be an indication but it is not the only one. Also I'm not sure where your from but if it is over seas then there could be a breed she might be that people in the states are not aware or knowledgeable of

I would just call her a mix breed. Her color is not chinchilla because chins are black ahouti based while opals are blue
