Yes I did. Someone who works on the show confirmed that she was actually meant to be a pegasus, but they forgot to add wings (she was a "copy" of one of the ponies they had already used as an earth pony). This was actually brought up when someone pointed out a filly alicorn was seen in an episode, the same person explained that the alicorn was actually a pegasus that they had made into a unicorn, and forgotten to remove the wings.

In other words, because background ponies can go anywhere the animators will sometimes use the same pony, but will add or remove wings and horns to make a "different" pony. However, sometimes things get over looked, and mistakes like this happen.
