I just picked up a box of chicks today. Inside were Plymouth Rocks, Jersey Giants, Red Rangers, and a mystery chick. (pics in next post)
The order was placed back in April and most chick are currently sold out according to their pages.

Initially thought it was a Welsummer or SS, but it's different than those, especially around the eyes because it doesn't have the dark eye bands and it has rusty beige tipped grey chipmunk fuzz. It does not have the rich sable of the Partridge Rocks and is noticeably bigger than those.
After checking a few chick ID pages, the nearest I can match is a Barnevelder. However the yellow spot on the head is throwing me off. I've never had a Barnevelder and don't know if they have yellow on the head. The yellow makes me think it's a sex link marker....
Personality wise it's very bold and almost a bully to the other chicks.
Any ideas?

It seems to be showing cockerel attitude already. Size wise I'd think it was a Red Ranger, but the RRs are all much paler yellowy oranges and have no markings. Just like their ID page shows them to be.
The black chicks it's standing next to while looking into the camera are Jersey Giants.
I'm stumped.
