Do you recognize this chick?

Clean legged bantam (probably) from Ideal. They have sent me a LF extra with my bantams before, though, and it is the size of the larger bantams like brahmas.

It's possibly an EE, but we need pictures when it's about 4-8 weeks to give you a more definite answer

A whole lot of breeds look like that as chicks. Too young to even try to guess what that is. Post again once feathered in.

Nope, not EE. They aren't available and it doesn't have muffs and leg color is wrong.

I'm usually good at guessing on these guys since I buy about 50-100 assorted bantams a year but this one is different from what I usually see. It doesn't look like OEGB based on size and build, and the down doesn't match their Japanese varieties. It's missing the typical eyeliner mark that I usually see on my chipmunk down varieties and the head mark is a single thick black line. I am inclined to think cornish bantam but looking to see if anyone recognizes it. I'm trying to decide if I want it in the "hold on for a while and see" box or the "take to the swap on Saturday" box lol.
