Post another picture after it dries off and gets fluffy, and it will be much easier to tell.

It's almost like blueish grey with a light colored face lol

I think the mother is probably a Barred Rock.

And if I am right about a Barred Rock being the mother, that chick should be female. Buff Orpington father x Barred Rock mother is a pairing that makes sex-linked chicks: sons have a light dot on top of their head at hatch, and have white barring in their feathers, while daughters do not get the light dot or the white barring.
