French Black Copper Maran

I bought this rooster from a seller that said it is a Show Quality French Maran. Looks more like a Welsummer , because it has the white plume and yellow legs.
Is it a cross-breed?

Just by looking at the yellow legs I can tell you that he's not a Marans. A full body shot would tell us more.

I agree with hdowden, looks like a Marans x Welsummer.

Maybe it's just the camera angle but the body style looks off--too light bodied. But quite possibly just the angle.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
