I'm new to raising chickens, but I think I might have gotten screwed on my chick purchase. These are supposed to be Black Orpingtons, but they don't look like that to me. Can anyone tell me what they are?

Can you shut off the heat light for a minute to take a picture so that the color isn't distorted? The chicks will be fine without it for the time it takes to snap some pictures and it will make it easier to ID them.
That being said, what I can see appears to be barring (black and white patterning) on the wings where they are feathering in - is that accurate? The white head dot would also indicate barring genetics. These are definitely not black orpingtons, what they *are* could be a few different breeds or mixes -- show or describe the leg color?
