Do you have more pictures of him or her? Usually having a side view, top view, and front view is best. Especially photos that show his/her size in relation to other household objects.
Do you know how old the rabbit is?

Unfortunately the lil guy probably shouldn't have been separated from his mom yet 
I'm guessing he might be about 8- 9 weeks old?
I know a lot of rabbits look alike when they are young so it might be too hard to tell. I have two more pictures. I thought I uploaded them but for some reason they didnt post and I'm having issues attaching more than one picture at a time (I'm on an ipad)

8 weeks is just the right time to leave mom if it is a domestic bunny. What a cutie! I don't see any outstanding defining features, but if you know for sure it is 8-9 weeks old, it looks pretty big for its age in that pic with the phone. So I'd say one of the bigger breeds, possibly Flemish?

If he is 8-9 weeks old, he's old enough. Usually kits are weaned (separated from mom) around 6 weeks old, then they can be rehomed anytime after 8 weeks.
Based on the photos, I don't think he will get anywhere near as large as a Flemish. His features look a little bit dwarfy. He's not quite short and stocky enough that I'd guess purebred Netherland Dwarf, but I do suspect a small or medium breed mix.
It's difficult to give a definitive answer without history on a rabbit because their characteristics often don't hold for more than a generation or two. For example, even if you're breeding a purebred Mini Lop to a purebred Dutch rabbit, the offspring may not really resemble either breed (even by color).

Looks exactly like a couple of Dwarf mixes we've rescued in the past. Very cute little one. Can you ask the person you obtained him from?

He reminds me of a netherland dwarf mix, definitely not a flemish. I know with my holland lop being 9 weeks he is probably 1/2 the size of his mom, although he is a lot lighter than her. 8 weeks old is the age rabbits can start being rehomed so he's not too young they are weaned at 6 weeks of age.
