I don't know for sure but it is my understanding that spangles are chipmunk colored with a very light/white breast as chicks. It's hard to see in the pics but it almost looks like one.
The Spangled and the BB Red are very similar in down color at hatch with one subtle difference. The BB red will have a light yellowish breast, the Spangle will have a white breast. The wild type partridge chick down is the same which is what the "chipmunk" stripped pattern in teh down indicates.
