Mix Breed Chick Identification! Need Help!

[GlicksChicks]

This is a chick from the first batch of eggs I ever hatched. I believe this chick is either a mix of a Buckeye rooster and a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen or a Buckeye Rooster and a Black Copper Maran hen, but I don't know what this outcome is. The wing pattern resembles a Speckled Sussex chick, but it is black.

The darker chick most likely has the Marans as the mother.

They are both the same chick, the second picture is 2 weeks and third picture is 3 weeks. Is it normal for marans mixed with brown breeds to have this coloration? Thank you for the response!!

The color looks right to me for a Marans/Buckeye cross. A picture of its comb might help.

I will do my best to get a picture! At this age they don't want to be touched.

I added pictures of the comb to the post. A side view and a front view!

Buckeye x Marans, it has a peacomb.

Is there a name for the mix breed and/or do you know what they grow up to look like?

It'll probably look more like the Marans in shape and have a large-ish peacomb. Something similar to this except with a peacomb and a bit more red overall.
