That chick looks great, the angel wing will go away and its of the bs variety. Visually sexing is weeks away yet. Congrats on a healthy chick!!

Ok because I'm not very familiar with the colors what's bs variety?

BS = black shoulder, which is a pattern, not a color. The most common is IBBS = india blue (color) black shoulder (pattern).

Basically, if it turns out to be a rooster, he will be lacking the white and black barring pattern on the shoulder of his wings which will be a pretty iridescent black'ish color which many people favor nowadays. If its a hen, she will maintain a dirty white or dirty blonde if you will, appearance of varying colors and all of this depends on what color of bs birds you have ie... Purple, cameo, etc... As stated by @Argus BS is indeed a pattern. BS chicks are hatched looking like white peachicks but, usually always have pinkish wing feathers which is how we can visually identify your beautiful chick. Great job and keep us posted on its progress with pics. At around 6 weeks of age, post some pics and we'll try to sex it for you,

I let my hen hatch my eggs and raise them, never really seen them hatch, I've had peafowl since 2013 we had 2 peafowl they were mates but never produced chicks the male died and we got a new cock, they hatched 4 chicks 2 died, I'm going to bring them home next time they hatch and put them in a brooder
