I have no idea what it is but I can tell you what it ISN'T. It isn't an Eastern Cottontail ... that is the only rabbit I can ID

Lots of pretty bunnies there!

Angora?

Maybe @Bunnylady or @BunnyGirl might know?

Looks like a Lionhead to me.

 

[Bunnylady]

You're welcome.

Actually, while the coat says 'Lionhead,' her markings look like a Dwarf Hotot. Looks like someone has been doing some interesting crossbreeding.

doesn’t have a total mane but long spikes of beautiful silk hair/ fur

Hey, I just said she's a Lionhead - I didn't say she was a good one.

Lots of Lionheads, and Lionhead crosses, have thin manes; some "single maned" Lionheads lose almost all of their mane as they mature, and wind up with just a few wisps of longer hair around their ears. Somebody worked pretty hard to get those markings on her; probably concentrating on that, and let things like honest-to-goodness wool in the mane slide.

Looks like a Blanc de Hotot/Dwarf Hotot & Lionhead mix to me.

Oh, I think you can probably eliminate the Blanc de Hotot from contention. It's a commercial sized rabbit and relatively rare; Dwarf Hotots are much more common and the right size.

she was going to be set into the wild

High marks to you for taking her on, rather than let her (hopefully ignorant) previous owner do something so irresponsible and cruel as to abandon a domestic animal. She may not have a very pleasant personality, but she certainly doesn't deserve that.
