Looks like a Netherland Dwarf to me. Was she an outside bunny? Her fur seems slightly long for a Netherland but otherwise looks like one.
Hopefully she just had something in her eye, but often a rabbit's eyes will water when they're having teeth problems (molars, not front), which are very common.
Netherlands, especially females, are known to be territorial so don't be surprised if she doesn't want you in her cage at all. Usually they're a lot friendlier when they're not in their space. I had a female Netherland growing up who would literally rear up and come down smacking your hand if you put it in her cage, the whole time growling (which sounds like honking), but was fine out. The male I had later on was a little bit more civil than she was, but I heard from a breeder that it's common.
Either way she's a cutie! You may need to bring her to the vet for the eye thing if it doesn't start to resolve within the week. If it gets worse it's an infection, but if it stays the same my guess would be teeth.
