Yes, that looks like magpie.

Thank you! She has a lot of maybe faded out black? Or gray that looks like shading. So I was unsure.

Looks like a normal magpie. Where the black and white hairs intermix, the eye apparently interprets it as gray. So, areas with more white hairs than black look paler gray than those areas with a little white mixed into a lot of black.

She's a magpie. One that I would call a messy magpie. I prefer the ones with clearer patterning. Though the messy ones often sell well as pets.

Agreed. For show, the judges like to see clear delineation between the color groups, 5-7 clean color changes down the side (no intermixed white and black hairs, or as little as possible), face half black/half white, with the ears and front legs opposite colors (left ear black, left side of face white, left front leg black). It's very difficult to obtain this patterning, and the odd patterns do indeed sell well as pets.
