I was told he is a 4 month old rex. he is definitely not a rex. so, what kind is he? Any educated guess will do!

I'm not a rabbit expert but you can tell by the fur from the picture that it's not a rex, I'm guessing a mix but that's just a guess.
 
Looks like maybe a Chocolate type chin/agouti, but breed wise I say mixed. Maybe large type New zealand or IDK something big!

Yep Colors. Agouti is banded hairs, each hair has banding of several different colors from root to tip. Try blowing into his coat and if you see rings of color, like circles on top of circles he is an agouti. Agouti comes in several different colors and names! Chestnut (Wild rabbit color), Chinchilla, Castor, Opal, Steel, etc etc, the list is a million times longer then I could ever hope to remember all the names. All are Agouti patterns, then you have color! He is either a Chocolate Agouti or Cinnamon Agouti, if he is for breeding, Breed him with a Ruby Eyed White Doe! Then you can find his color gene make up! All his babies should be an Agouti Pattern or REW.

Oh he is a doll though! And sooo darn pretty! In my guess I would say Chocolate or Cinnamon Chestnut!
