RIR or Production Red? Cockerel?

[diamondmeadows]

Hi,

We are new to chickens and received a "flock helper" rooster. We need some help identifying if he is a RIR, Production Red, or...? They are almost 8 weeks old. Thank you!

He's definitely a cockerel. RIR or production red both seem reasonable, but I can't tell the difference.

Cockerel, I would guess RIR.
