Who am I?

Ok so I have this Rooster...can I get some help I.D.ing him? I have this horrible picture...but if it is sunny again tomorrow I will try and get a better one. He is an old boy and just kind of hangs out and minds his own business...but I am just curious as to what he is and seeing as I am now down a rooster he might fit the bill for some mutts! He was from a hatchery so is supposed to be a heritage breed. I am going to look up the original order just to see what some of the possibilities might be.

If he has a rose comb, looks like it to me, he looks very much like a Wyandotte although the color is unusual.

Yes that is where I am stumped. There were columbian and partridge wyandottes in that original order but his colour doesn't seem right for partridge.

Rose comb Rhode island red?

It definitley has the RIR color but body shape, legs are weird but could be the pic? and if that is a rose comb RIR that would be cool!

Heres one of my Heritage RIRs, single comb and he has a couple extra points but good for comparison...

I will get a better picture tomorrow, I had him backed trapped in a tight spot and he was trying to jump up out of my reach. There were RIR's in that order as well. He will be 5 this April and the only reason he is still around is because he and a lone Bantam EE have never allowed themselves to be captured!

I agree with OC, he is very "Wyandotte" looking. Not just the comb but his body shape too. Chocolate Wyandotte??

I can't really tell what the comb is, but it's possible he's a hatchery Buckeye. The comb is either wrong (rose? hard to tell) or an overly large pea comb, (or a pea x single comb) and his wattles are too big, (possible if he's pea x single comb) but his body type is closer to Buckeye than RIR or Wyandotte.

Here is a Chocolate Wyandotte from Feathersite.
They are fairly rare and you wouldn't expect a great type from a hatchery bird, his legs should be yellow.

His feathers have a blue/ green tinge to them, his legs are yellow. I will get a better picture tomorrow.
