I wanna know the breed
 
Where did you get it? Too many chicks have chipmunk patterning to give a definite answer
Definitely true!

Striped chick, single comb, clean feet could be:
Speckled Sussex
Brown Leghorn
Welsummer
Cream Legbar pullet (but not Cream Legbar cockerel)
some Olive Eggers
some Easter Eggers
several colors of Old English Game Bantams
Gold Phoenix
Many mixes of those breeds and some other breeds

And I'm probably forgetting a few possibilities.

literally off ebay so it could be anything, but i noticed theres a very distinct dark brown spot on top of the head if that means anything
Did you get it as an egg or as an already-hatched chick? What did the listing or the seller say about it?
 
Speckled Sussex chicks have pinkish white legs (shanks).
The lighting makes it hard to tell the color of the legs.

The chick was an egg, the sellers will usually sell eggs from one specific breed but because we bought so many we lost track of which is which since we only marked the dates and not the seller's breeds

In that case, if you have a list of what breeds were actually ordered, we should be able to figure out which breeds it could be and which ones it definitely is not.
