What breed is my rooster?

. I got this guy when he was about a week old at flea market ...can anyone tell what breed he is?

Mixed breed. He looks to have a pea comb, so he may have Easter egger genes.

Mixed breed cockerel; probably an Easter Egger (if he carries the blue egg gene).

Can anyone tell me if this guy is Ameraucana or Easter Egger?

Does he have white skin? If so, he could be an Ameraucana, but he's very poorly colored and shouldn't be used for breeding true bred birds. That gold leakage is a major fault color-wise. For breeding a backyard flock, he'd be fine.

I agree.
