I ordered chicks from Meyer, and along with my specific breeds I had them add 4 mystery chicks. This one has developed what appears to be a little crest recently. I thought it was a bad hair day as the feathers came in, but it seems to be getting more prominent, rather than less.

Notes:
-Clean, yellow legs
-Same size as standard Polish chick currently; same size as other standard chicks at delivery
-No leg band at delivery
-No muff/beard
-Chipmunk color at a few days old

Here are possible "chipmunk chick" breeds I ordered, although I have identified all of these as other chicks:
Speckled Sussex, Welsummer, Easter Egger, Green Queen

She is the chick in the Honest tea box below:

I welcome your guesses!
 
Thank you both! I thought she looked like a Cream Legbar, too, but she wasn't banded and Meyer is supposed to leg band their Legbars. Maybe she missed leg day at the hatchery!
All 15 of my Meyer Hatchery chicks came without bands because I ordered "assortments". I was a little upset about it because the way they labeled everything, I assumed they wouldn't take the leg bands OFF the ones that should have them! I have a few that I know should have been banded...sure would make identifying easier! I ended up with 2 identical white chicks that I still have no freaking clue on what they are...
