is this a Crele Niederrheiner or a Lemon Cuckoo Niederrheiner

Super pretty bird!

Bielefelders are supposed to have yellow legs, but the rooster in the photo does not have yellow legs.

As best I can tell from photos, Bielefelders and Niederrheiners do look somewhat similar--multi colored with white barring and single combs, and I think they're both considered dual-purpose breeds.

Okay thanks so much for the help, I attached a few more pics..
I got him because a lot of people buy chicks and when they get of age to be identified as Roosters they ask me to take them because where they live they are not allowed Roosters... So I always take them and try to find good homes for them out here where I live...

Gold breast, so not Crele (any breed), and not Bielefelder.

I don't know Niederrheiners well enough to know for sure if he IS Lemon Cuckoo, but I am sure he's not Crele.

He’s just a mixed breed.

 

[The Moonshiner]

He isn't crele or lemon cuckoo.

He isn't crele or lemon cuckoo.

How would a lemon cuckoo be different? I can see that he cannot be crele because he has no black breast, but I'm not familiar with lemon cuckoo.

Agreed. I noticed the difference in leg color, but just figured there might be variations. I never saw a Niederrheiner before, but it does look like one : https://www.pinterest.se/pin/311733605444198370/?nic_v2=1a292VWEE

@Sylvester017 looks like you know about this breed? Can you help the OP? From what I can tell it is not a lemon cuckoo. Beautiful rooster!

I love the beauty of Bielefelders but unfortunately I'm no expert -- I referred to Greenfire Farms and feathersite.com to see if they had any photos of Lemon Cuckoo Bielefelders and neither site had any info. So sorryt

I think it is a Niederrheiner, not a Bielefelder from what I understood from the OP.
Thanks!

I think a crele rooster would have a black breast, while the lemon cuckoo one would have a gold or red breast (both with white barring, of course.) I can't see his breast clearly enough to be sure in your photo.

He's really pretty! Where did you get him?

This seems correct. I have lemon cuckoo niederrheiners and creole bielefelders. My LCN. have less perdictable barred pattern, scattered really , whereas creole bielefelder will have excellent consistency in barred pattern.
The bielefelder cock will also have a black base, particularly the tail and undercarriage fluff (don’t know technical term).
My LCN show considerable color variation from near white to buff to brown with the males being lightest and more barred, at least in my flock. I believe the OP has a LCN roo; legs are pink.
Some pics of my birds. Pics 1,2 nieder pullets. hatchery:McMurrays. varies greatly in color.
Pic 3: nieder cockerel (buff pullet in background)
Pic 4: creole bielefelder cockerel.
