I thought I knew what type of bird I got. But I am second guessing now. Any thoughts?

I'll upload a picture of her when she was a chick and now.

What did you think you get? Looks like a Cinnamon Queen. RIR chicks are usually light red as chicks. The Cinnamon Queen will have those chipmunk markings. See those random black laced feathers on her now? That's the Cinnamon Queen. RIRs should be more solid and darker.

Sorry, nothing helpful to contribute. That's neat! I thought Cinnamon Queens usually had a little "collar" so to speak. Can they not?

I'm personally still learning about them, as mine (who are growing up with my RIRs) are almost two months old as of right now. On this one, if you look closely, she does have a little bit of a collar:
