The most obvious flaw with this theory is that Chico and Quiet don't share the same hair and eye color. It's possible for hair and eyes to change color from age, or hair dye and contacts. But Kojima probably didn't put that much forethought into creating the character. There'd be no reason to change those details if the character were Chico.

People would also cry foul if it were true. Not just homophobes, but people who feel women are underrepresented in games. Quiet may not be the only female in the game, but she's the only one we've seen so far. Revealing to the audience she was actually a male the whole time, risks alienating girl gamers and hetero male gamers alike.
