I have pictures if I could figure out how to post them i will.

this site has a neat chart comparing the two

Silky Terrier vs Yorkshire Terrier | Small Dogs Paradise

There is also this great thread here on YT about it

To my knowledge, silky's are always blue and tan and they also tend to have a longer body and head. The Silky's hair is also suposed to only grow until knee length (but some yorkies have issues maintaining coat length so even if you tried to grow it out it may not be a deciding factor.)

You may never really know!
