With those pink legs and beak it almost has to be an Orpington or a Marans. Looks like it is paint which would involve dominant white. It is a mystery!😊
To further complicate things I received 4 that look just like this! I just think that would be unlikely if they grabbed a bunch of BBS Orpington and they all looked lightly splashed? Would marans have feathered feet?
 
Exchequer leghorn? It can’t be a splash marans because the legs are not feathered, right?

edit this is what day younger chick looked like. Does not look like exchequer leghorn

Different hatcheries' Marans have either clean or feathered feet.

I've heard of hatcheries sometimes tossing in chicks from breeds under development and not yet for sale on their own when assembling assortments.
