Looks like a Dark Cornish. Might be a cockerel.

Agree. Almost looks like an Easter Egger but single comb. Too skinny for Orpington. Maybe an Easter Egger/Leghorn mix? Kinda looks like a leghorn. Or with that goldish white down could be a sex link of some kind?I would say a mix.

Not sure on wing bows....it is still developing, so it will grow into its colors literally.
Here is Feathersite's Rock page. You can see samples of Partridge Rocks there.

That's my best guess thus far.

In theory, there should be significant differences in body shape and how the bird carries themselves. In practice, with hatchery stock, it's not always so obvious.Wow, I didn't realize there were so many!
Okay so stupid question here but if I got, say, one each of those, or like the same colors in different breeds like buff, blue, and black Orpingtons and Rocks etc., how would I be able to tell them apart? Are there significant body differences or not really? Also, obviously hatcheries don't carry most of these colors but the ones that do, I'm assuming there's less of or minimal difference in the hatchery quality ones because they're not to standard anyway?

You usually get down to things like skin/shank color, comb style, other features like that. For example, Orpingtons have white skin, Rocks have yellow skin. Wyandottes have rose combs. Now, the difference in body shape should be quite apparent, but it's not always, especially with juvenile birds. They all look kind of lanky and teenager-ish for a while :/ .
