Even though one has a black beak and the other doesn’t?

I believe so. There's often variation within breeds.

Does it have a head spot?

They both have white on their heads, like a messy paint smear, but really a dot.

Which means it's a barred breed (black chicks are normally solid black with varying amounts of yellow in the chest/facial region....no head spot). Those little yellow legs point to Barred Rock.
