New to chickens and thought I bought a Light Brahma pullet! What is this?

Hi Everyone

Well I'm new to chickens and after much research I bought 12 of various breeds. OK here is my little girl that was a yellow chick and was suppose to be a light brahma pullet. I'm not seeing it even though she is beautiful. Also I feel she is a he but I'm no expert. She does have feathers down her legs and some on her feet but not real heavy. She is about 3 weeks old. She doesn't have much for tail hair yet. Could someone give me their opinion on the breed and sex. All the pics I'm coming up with looks like a dark or buff rooster.

Well its definitely not a Light Brahma. Doesn't really look like a Buff or Dark Brahma either. I think it might look vaguely like a Salmon Faverolle since its a yellow chick with spots and brown feathers. Not really sure - any other ideas?

As far as gender, its too early to tell .

Salmon Faverolle cockerel
Does it have 5 toes?

Yes it has 5 toes which I thought was weird

It is a Faverolles. Possibly a pullet but hatchery birds have some funky coloring, so hard to tell at this stage.
