This is precisely what my eyes look like and many people have told me they are hazel instead of green because of the golden rays around the pupil and because I think the olive green can read as greenish-brown in some light (in other light they read as blueish-green -- in sunlight they just look green).
Interestingly neither of my parents have green eyes. Dad has brown and mom has blue. On sibling has brown eyes and two others have blue. I am the only family member I know of with green eyes (or hazel or whatever). So I am guessing mutation!
