Can't really help with IDing, because I've never owned any dark Brahma chicks, but it sure is CUTE!!!
The feathered legs look right ... I think it's a bit soon for a positive ID, though.
The tips of the wing feathers look like they COULD have the start of dark Brahma penciling. Maybe when it starts feathering in a bit, it will be easier to tell.

You're right, mel.b. I misread microraptor's post, thought I read that they had substituted light Brahma for dark, but it's the other way around. microraptor, maybe you got your dark Brahma after all. 😊
ETA: microraptor, forgot to say that I think Pepper is a really good name for a dark Brahma

not enough yellow on that chick....sometimes the lights can have some dark usually down the neck and back, but usually they are more yellow....
