There are a number of breeds that it could be.
English Spot
Rhinelander
Checkered Giant
Or a little less likely could be a broken variety of one of several breeds.
It sounds most like a Rhinelander.
To rule out a breed just because it is not the most common like the one person said to is unwise. At a flea market just about any breed could show up. From your description I picked the most likely candidates. And yes, as some people mentioned it could be a cross also. A Rhinelander would be the most likely since it has 2-3 spots on each side, an eye circle, colored ears, and it is fairly small in size. A Checkered Giant also has an eye circle, colored ears, and it has two spots on each side, but it is a large breed that gets up to about 12-14 pounds. So unless it is a baby, it probably isn't a Checkered Giant. English Spots have an eye circle and colored ears, but they normally have a bunch of spots on their sides and not just a few. So it sounds like it has too few of spots for an English Spot.
Broken varieties of a number of breeds often have eye circles and colored ears, but rarely do they have just a couple spots on each side. Normally they have a large mix of color.
So based on what you told me, a Rhinelander fits best.

Edited yet again!: It's logical to rule out rare breeds-especially the arched breeds-because they are VERY rare and don't usually show up in the pet trade. They also have very distinct body types and are much larger than the rabbit we're discussing.
Once again, markings alone do not make a breed. Spots occur in just about every breed of rabbit. But, we'll go ahead and post some examples to help the poster:
This is a Rhinelander (around 10 lbs): http://www.albc-usa.org/images/rhinelander.jpg
This is a Checkered Giant (around 14 lbs): http://www.viarural.com.ar/viarural.com.ar/ganaderia/asociaciones/exterior-conejos/checkered-giant-01.jpg
This is an English Spot: (around 6-7 lbs): http://www.rabbitandcavydirectory.com/Images-BG-A-E/Double%20J%20Lean.jpg
By comparison, here are:
A broken (spotted) Netherland Dwarf (about 2-3 lbs): http://www.rabbitandcavydirectory.com/Images-BG-M-Q/NDoldBackwoodsBrkBlue.jpg
A broken Polish: (3 lbs): http://www.drcba.ca/Templates/ecms.aspx/$DRCBA/871701c4-cb69-4802-a6d9-0b63013d00f5/polish2.jpg
A mismarked Dwarf Hotot (3 lbs): http://i.b5z.net/i/u/469933/i/WLA_Cleo_052406_ezr.jpg
And a broken Mini Rex (3 1/2 lbs): http://www.rabbitandcavydirectory.com/Images-BG-M-Q/hunter.jpg
They are VERY different rabbits.
Edit to add: 3-5 pounds is a small rabbit. Try talking to the people with Flemish Giants who weigh 15-20 pounds!
Being from a flea market and on the smaller end of things, she's probably a dwarf cross. If her fur is very short, plush and velvet like, she may be full or part Mini Rex.
Congrats on your new rabbit but in the future, please consider getting a rabbit from a responsible breeder or rescue.

Black spots occur in almost all breeds of rabbits. If you can provide a picture and guess how much she weighs, I can give you a fairly good guess.
Ignore anyone who tells you she's an English Spot. It annoys me to no end that any spotted rabbit is labeled English Spot-which is a very uncommon breed of rabbit.

There are many different kinds of breeds that are like that and I can't specify it the breed because there is no weight and also because it is either an originally white breed or in the broken group of other rabbits.
I suggest you maybe give a picture, estimated or exact weight, or how the fur feels like.

that is not a large rabbit at all.... she is most likely a dutch cross of some sort... but may be a polish..... she could even be a cross between a dwarf hotot and a polish.... but if it is full grown it is a normal sized rabbit... trust me, large rabbits are mine! I have a 15 pound french new zeland!

If she is a smaller type of rabbit if could be a mix of dwarf hotot with flemish giant. It is hard to tell just by color. Either way it is probably a mix, most breeds of rabbits don't have random spots. Bring her to a fair, and they might be able to tell you, or try a vet.
