Hard to tell by he pic.  Here's what the underside of the wing of a Eurasian hen looks like.  The normally solid white feathers under the wing (American) are heavily vermiculated (Eurasian).

Nope, just a standard hen.  Many birds fall plumage will get stained depending on where they stage or sit.  Many of the birds in the Skagit Valley will see the similar staining along with snow.  Then they loose it as the molt.
