I picked this little bantam girl up a couple days ago and I'm just not sure what she is! No clue on age either. She's so darn cute though, so I couldn’t pass her up!!! She reminds me of my bantam cochins but she has clean legs. Any ideas? I included some pics of her next to one of my 20 week old standard GLW pullets for size reference.

She's probably a partridge Cochin cross, or far less likely, a partridge Plymouth Rock bantam.
I looked the partridge rocks up and they don't look quite as fluffy in the butt! Lol
And I would have thought if she were cochin crossed she'd have at least some leg feathering.
What are your thoughts on a bantam orpington?

I think that's unlikely. I'm not sure there even is a partridge variety in Orpingtons, but if so, it would be very rare.

I thought of partridge Brahma but she has the wrong comb type.
 
I would guess a Partridge Plymouth Rock bantam, or else a Partridge Wyandotte bantam that got the wrong comb type (that chicken has a single comb, when Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs, but rose comb chickens sometimes do produce chicks with single combs.)

There are partridge orps but they are VERY uncommon. I also considered brahma, but they have feathered legs like cochins, and different combs like you mentioned!
