I will agree with what you stated above but must add booted bantam is a term used mostly in the US for d'Uccles that are born without beards. ( a bit like what happened with Silkies, now divided as bearded & nonbearded ... IMO)
Booted bantams were and are still a true breed aka Sabelpoot bantams but are rarely found in the US (they are also known to be slightly taller than d'Uccles besides a slight difference in body shape).
d'Anvers do look similar to d'Uccles & booted bantam but are a seperate true breed & as you stated have differences.

There are a few other breeds that resemble the breeds that we have been talking about, I list these just for the fun of it. :
Belgian d'Everberg aka Barbu d'Everberg ~ rumpless version of the d'Uccle.
Barbu de Grubbe ~ a rumpless version of the d'Anvers.
Barbu de Watermaal ~ a Belgian bantam resembles a d'Anvers with a small, rearward-facing crest.

There are many informative pages online about all of the birds we have talked about in this thread, enjoy them they have a lot of interesting information & very nice pictures.

Everything I state in my posts are my opinion, I do not state to be an expert or try to step on anyone's toes.

Yes but the OP is in the U.S. so the use of Booted Bantam was used.

If the OP's Booted came from a hatchery or from hatchery stock then they most likely will have the same body type and size as a Belgian d'Uccle and a Belgian d'Anvers....
The Barbu de Watermaal all so resembles the U.K. Araucanas but with a rose comb...
