While that's certainly possible, the fact the Blake doesn't seem to show any surprise that he knows nor any attempt to deny it implies to me that she's aware that any faunus that looks at her closely will figure it out immediately.

Ozpin figured it out, so I'm not 100% sure I agree with the Sun comment. I think the Sun comment comes from the fact he figured it out by giving her a glance while literally running from two police officers. Ozpin, on the other hand, had time to run a background check on her. Even if that came out clean, then observe her during the Initiation and then we know he had access to whatever cameras were at the docks where she took her bow off to talk to the White Fang mooks. She had also taken her bow off in front of the statue in Academy grounds so it's another time for Ozpin to have had a camera reveal her faunus status.
