Just one chick I can't identify; any ideas?

Update us with pictures as she matures!
Her name is Fergie and she's a very sweet girl. These pics were taken this past Sunday, making her 3 weeks old. She's growing like crazy and is larger than I expected her to be at this point with her being a bantam and a small one at that.

She's actually looking like a dark cornish but Hoover's doesn't offer them. I have no idea now because her comb isn't rose like a wyandotte's.
Honestly, I thought we had it pinned down, now I'm back to clueless. I'm beginning to think she's not a bantam at all! She is one of the chicks given to me the night that someone consolidated the bins by putting several breeds in together without marking the bins with the breeds they contained. I *think* she may have mistakenly been placed in the bantam bin because she was very, very tiny, but some of the chicks were almost a week old, whereas she was most certainly a newer arrival, no more than 2-3 days old. She was also the only chick of whatever breed she is left. The "consolidated" bin that she was in contained 3 buff laced polish, a golden seabright, and this chick. She was fluffy, but was super tiny, slightly smaller than the seabright. She stayed pretty much the same size as the seabright as they grew the first 1-1.5 weeks, but these last two weeks she's really had a growth spurt and is now the same size as the large fowl polish chicks and larger than the EE's. She is most certainly a she, demonstrating perfect pullet behavior and although she's almost feathered in, there are no signs comb/waddle growth.

***I began this post 2 nights ago, but fell asleep typing it, lol! Anyway, I do believe I've cracked the case! If I'm right, and I really think I am, she is definitely not a bantam at all. Hoover's is now offering a Partridge Chanteclers, and she matches pics I've found perfectly. In the collage photo, internet stock photos are on the left, my Fergie is on the right. The other pic I took 2 days ago.
