If the bird came from a hatchery it is probably a production red. Sorry I can't be more help. Here's a page with some pictures of NH: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/NH/BRKNH.html#NHChix and RIR: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Reds/BRKRIR.html#RIRChik, and PR: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Reds/BRKRIR.html I hope that helps!
