What Type of Pheasant Chick is This?

This is first hatch of this year for me. Adults are 2 year old Red Goldens. All of the chicks from last years hatch were normal Red Goldens. The remainder of this first hatch were your typical color.

Have searched but could not find any Red Goldens with brown body and yellow chest.

Are you sure they are Goldens? Can't get a melanistic chick from a Golden pairing. BTW, that's a male chick.

In jar was only way to get clear picture. Went back into brooder pen right after picture was taken.
