Bought this chick at a feed store. They said it was a Rhode Island Red but all the pictures I've seen of RIRs, they are actually very reddish. Can this be a RIR? Just curious.

Thanks! Crossing my fingers it's not a rooster since I live in suburbia but I've heard that most feed store chicks are boys so I won't be too surprised.
 
I just hatched chicks that are a RIR rooster mixed with RIR/New Hampshire Red hens (hens were also purchased at TSC last year) and got the same result (I just noticed the chicks look darker, but that's because these pics were taken right after they were taken out of the bator):
