Hello and colour identification?

Hi there!!! My husband and I just rescued a 3 year old, female beardie. It's been years since I've had lizards, (mali, geckos, beardie,) but it's starting to come back to me.
The change in this girl over the past week since we got her has been incredible! She went from listless, sad and dark grey to bright, alert and a yellow colour.
Could anyone tell me if our girl is a standard beardie, or perhaps a citrus?
My husband named her Ripley, from the Alien movies.

Hi there....she looks like a mix, she's a standard but has citrus in her color line. If you can get her out in the sun a few days a week the color will be at it's best. She sure looks well fed, so be careful not to indulge her too much. Looks like a sweet cuddle bug already, too. I hope she does well for you. :)

Thanks!!

We tried her with dandelion greens, bok choy, red pepper and butter nut squash last week, but she wouldn't eat it. This week we have kale, radicchio, zucchini and butternut squash. I hope she eats it.
Her old owners gave her Super 7 bagged salad (kale, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries,) every day as well as super worms every day.
We give her about 8 crickets per day and leave her salad in her enclosure all day, but so far she won't eat it. :(

She's very possibly just nervous, I see her beard is dark in the one picture so she has a certain level of stress. She'll do better once she's settled in. Beardies may not eat for days or even not much for a couple of weeks due to relocation stress. Just give her time to settle in. If she doesn't like baths, just give her once a week or so.

Thanks for the reply!! Sorry, new to quoting and tagging people. I did respond to your comment about her greens. :)

She liked the first bath. She stuck her head under the running water. I really hope she starts to eat her greens! I worry about her only eating crickets and super worms.
Her old owners didn't have the proper basking Temps at all and the uv light was old! She was so sad.

So she eats the insects fine already ? That's good, what you can do is just offer a few less bugs per feeding and even skip a day or two and offer the salad...be sure it's right where she can see it easily. After you cut down on the bugs she may develop a better appetite and start on the salad. Everything's new for her so be patient + don't worry too much, she's doing better already + will hopefully settle in very well.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
