I need help identifying this guy. I know that he is a roo, he's my first to crow. As a chick he had the chipmunk pattern and then he looked a little barnvelderish. Now I have no clue. I'm thinking he may be a mix of something. Any ideas? The second pic is a little blurry but it shows his color pattern pretty good. He is 4 1/2 months old.

Two more pics. One at about 1 week and again at about 7 weeks. Welsummer was one suggestion I got when I posted the picture of him at a week old, but he's changed so much I really don't know.

He's a barnevelder.

Welsummers don't have lacing or red leakage thought the rest of their bodies, and their hackles are completely red. They also have larger combs.
 
I'm good with barnvelder, but he's my only one. I have 6 roos and will have to narrow it down a bit in the spring. I have three breeds I'm working with, wyandottes, LF polish and barred rocks. Maybe I can throw him in with my cochins for the next generation of layers.
