Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join us. It's definitely a Barred Rock. At a glance, it looks like it is probably a pullet, but with a full body profile, showing the head and tail as well, it's gender could be easily determined. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can.

Sun Ray Reds are Sun Ray Hatchery's (located in Iowa) label for their Red Rangers, which are hybrids bred to be good meat birds which are good foragers as well (not usually a trait for meat birds). BYC has a thread discussing Red Rangers at https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/765123/red-ranger-chickens. You can also read Murray McMurray's comments on the Red Ranger at https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/red_ranger_broiler.html.
