Could this be a Buckeye?

I was cruising craigslist, came across these and thought they looked a lot like my Buckeyes.

 

Below will be the craigslist photo, not the best of quality. She says they are just beginning to crow, so similiar in age to mine. Some of mine are starting to get the green tails but the rest of the body is a fairly consistent color on mine. In the craigslist add it looks like I'm seeing more coloring throughout the body.

 

I emailed the owner she doesn't know what they are but that they had come from TSC which makes me think it's highly unlikely to be a Buckeye.

Rhode Island?  (I'm a first year chicken owner... my guess is likely not right, but I had to weigh in.)

Looks like they have a single comb, right?  They are probably RIR or darker Production Reds (depending on that TSC's hatchery source) since Buckeye should have a pea comb.

You're right the comb is different, thanks.

A clearer pic would help, but I'm saying production red or rhode island red
