Cute chick!

I feel like those markings should be distinctive enough for someone to figure out the breed, but it's not one I'm familiar with.

Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs, and I'm pretty sure that chick does not, so it's probably not a Wyandotte. (Every now and then a Wyandotte chick does have a single comb, even though they're not supposed to.)

If no-one is able to identify the chick by the time it feathers out, try posting new photos then: feathers really do help :)

what a bummer:(
Based on what the hatchet I bought her from offers, I honestly can’t figure it out.
But regardless we named her cleopatra and she is very pretty
 
What hatchery did you buy her from? Was "she" bought as a sexed pullet?
Mt. Healthy Hatchery
and "she" was not on my order.
I ordered 10 sexed pullets.
I was sent 11 chicks.
I had originally ordered 2 speckled sussex. Only was sent 1. and then a lavender orpington that i did not order was added and on the inventory list.
This rando was not included.
 
Freebie chicks are often males, but they may have sent an extra female to cheer you up about having a substitution (just guessing here. It amounts to, I don't know what gender they sent.)

Easter Eggers can come in any color (the hatcheries often call them Ameraucanas.)
So that's one possibility.

Could it be a Cream Legbar male?
 
Oh I don't know. haha I do have two female Cream Legbars on order and accounted for.
I'll upload another picture of the chick in a few. :)

Based on those new photos, I'm thinking Easter Egger. I think I see a pea comb (common on Easter Eggers), and the legs are dark colored (also common on Easter Eggers). Also, Easter Eggers CAN come in just about any color or pattern.

Anytime there's no other obvious breed for a chick, I guess Easter Egger. Sometimes I'm even right :)
