BCM over SM

What would a black copper maran rooster over a splash maran hen produce? So far she’s just blue, but I’m wondering how I should expect her to feather out (still with the splash pattern? Partly red? No splash pattern?)

Parents are the last two

Splash is the result of a chicken inheriting two blue genes. Since the rooster has no blue genes to pass on all the chicks hatched from this rooster and this hen will get one blue gene from mom and one not-blue gene from dad and will be blue.

I would expect this chick to feather in blue with copper leakage.
