I ordered several different breeds of chickens. Assorted Wyandottes, several Amerucanas, Speckled Sussex, and Partridge Rock. What could this one be?

But I got them from Ideal Hatchery and they don't offer that one in standard size. They have Buff, Partridge, Golden Laced, Silver Laced, Colombian. So it leaves me puzzled.
 
I'm gonna vote for partridge rock. I have one from ideal who is the same age, and she looks just like that.
 
Well I guess we'll wait and see on what she is. Though the coloring is coming in very pretty I think. I can't wait to see how she looks as she ages. Thank you all for your imput!
 
You said you ordered "Amerucanas", Ideal's "Amerucanas" are EE's (Easter Eggers) and not true Amerucanas .
The chick you posted is a EE, it incorrect leg color for Wyandottes, Speckled Sussex, and Partridge Rock and your chick also has a small beard/muff.
Wyandottes --- Yellow
Sussex --- White
Plymouth Rocks --- Yellow
EE's --- Any color

I don't think that it's an EE. An EE would also have a small muff, typically. I might see one, but I'm not sure. EE chicks don't look anything like that IMO. So, that is nor an EE or Ameraucana from my eyes. I could be wrong, but I've had a lot of EE's before.

These are Barred Plymouth Rock chicks' legs. Left is female, right is male.

To the OP: I haven't had any Partridge Rock chicks, but just found some photos and that's what it looks like it is. Here is a photo for comparison.
