Ooo! Pretty chick! I'm not sure what that one is. Cuckoo Marans maybe? Here's a picture from Cackle Hatchery of their Cuckoo Marans ...

From looking at the chicks on McMurray I was thinking maybe a White Faced Spanish???

Looks like their Black Australorp

Based on what they have listed in their rare and unusual page, I would say White Faced Black Spanish or Dominique.

Dominique have a rose comb though...so you'll be able to tell soon, if not now, by the comb type.

Your chick does look a whole lot like an Australorp chick, but I'm hoping they don't sell them as exotics...I'd definitely put them in the brown egg laying group.

editd to add: Shoot...looks like a Black Jersey Giant chick too!!!

Looks like a black australorp, but might be a boy - the comb is little big for a 5 week old pullet.

Here's our baby australorps:

These are two of those same chicks - one pullet & one cockerel at about 8 weeks of age:
