I have one that is almost identical to that one and he's a RSL, though he does have more dark brown than yours. He reminds us of fudge ripple ice cream, so we call him "Fudgie."

The other cockerels I have are starting to develop red and/or brown feathering, but in a different pattern, though they all have the golden neck feathers. My pullet also has the golden neck feathers (her body is white), which leaves me wondering what she may be. They were all labeled as White Leghorns at TSC

So what the heck are those chickens?!? Mine look exactly like that and I was positive all mine were roos, but now your picture has me wondering...ARGH! Anyone know?

ETA: How old is the pullet in the picture?

 

[cletus the rooster]

about 14 weeks.see beginning of post to see the story of how i got them and you will see why i am a little shaky on the age.guessing about 14 weeks due to the laying of the first egg
