Didn't mean to confuse--not sure what you're confused about?
1. I don't think the hen in the photo you posted is a light brown Leghorn because the comb is wrong. For it to be a Leghorn, it should have a comb like the one my dark brown Leghorn has.
2. My hen isn't a black Leghorn, she's a dark brown Leghorn. Here is how the dark brown Leghorn is described by the American Brown Leghorn Club: As the brown leghorn was coming into its own, around the turn of the century, breeders prized darker, wine colored male birds while preferring a light olive brown female. This eventually gave rise to two separate varieties. The Dark Brown Leghorns, male and female, are a deep shade of mahogany, accented with fiery dark red and lustrous greenish black. The Light Brown female is a warm olive brown color over the back with a breast of rich salmon.
Does that clear things up?
