By the wing tips I'm guessing it's about 3 days old? I have one that looks very similar and just turned 3 weeks on Monday. I've been told it's most likely an Easter Egger because it has feathering on the legs and willow (green tinted) legs, but even at 3 weeks it's still guesses.

Where did you get the chick? Sometimes that can provide some clues.

Bantams are small chickens. They have extra-small chicks compared with other chicken breeds. So the chick might be a bantam.

There are many breeds of bantams. Several of them can be that color as chicks. For example, Old English Game Bantam have a color called Black Breasted Red that looks a lot like your chick when young. Those are fairly common where I like (USA).

But there are some other breeds and colors of bantams that can also be that color as chicks, and mixed-breed bantams can also have that coloring. Chicks who hatch with that coloring can grow feathers of several different colors and patterns, so you can post pictures as it grows to help people identify it more accurately.
