No, Leghorn is a breed that comes in both large fowl and bantam sizes. Leghorns also come in several colors other than white.

Does Foghorn Leghorn look like a Bantam?

The species is chicken. The breed is the type/size. Many breeds come in both sizes.

They do tend to be slimer and trimer than most LF, though.

Very true; they are barely worth dressing if you go that route and have to take one out. I tried dressing one when I saw it killed; gave up. My lone Leghorn is definitely my smallest bird and they are all LF.
