Could be one of several breeds, how old and how big is the the bunny?

feels about 2 pounds right now. I think it's still pretty young. I think it might be a girl too.

A traditional Himalayan has dark ears, feet and tail not just the dark nose. How young might it be? The ears are too big for it to be a Netherland Dwarf ...

I'm not really sure on the age. Pretty young tho. Could the coloring get darker as she gets older?

The other ones in there were brown. One had a white stripe on the face an both had a few spots of lighter brown.

the ladysaid she thinks they are about half grown... whatever that means. lol

Well, maybe she's a mutt bunny! Coloring can change, but most of her is still all white, by the time Miss Hoppy was "half grown" her coloring had already changed.

Dwarves (Netherland Dwarf bunnies, Dwarf Hotots - which have dark around the eyes, not the nose) are 2-3 pounds, so even if her ears didn't indicate otherwise, you know she's not either of those!

did I hear right that mut bunnies are the best to get? or was that with dogs?

Looks like a himilayan mix to me.

It does not matter if it's a mutt or a purebred... one's not better then the other. But it's best to rescue a rabbit if you are not going to show... and lots of times in rescues they have mixed breed rabbits.

I don't know for breed, but that's really strange that her feet are white! I didn't think himi worked that way but maybe she's just lilac himi with really really light feet?

Miss Hoppy, who is assuredly a bunny of mixed heritage (as every "bunny expert" tells me something different), thinks mutt bunnies are best! I think any healthy bunny is best! :) But of course Miss Hoppy is the best bunny of all.
