I have limited knowledge, so please confirm with someone else before just accepting this. But, it is my understanding that the male Partridge Chantecler should have a very dark/black chest. Like the one in your first picture. The second one that say you can feel his breastbone also has very light/red/buff coloring on his chest. So, while he make be pleasing to the eye, I don't think he conforms very well to color standard. (I agree with you, btw, if I had to choose coloring that I liked, it would be the lighter 2nd one, but I don't believe that the standard agrees.)
