Not all bantams have a LF counterpart. This is from http://www.smallholder.co.uk/news/1746975.what_is_a_true_bantam/
" Breeds that exist in both large and small versions are called 'Miniature Fowl', unfortunately many people still refer to them as Bantams. Examples of these breeds are Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes, etc. whereupon True bantams are Pekins, Nankins, Japanese and Belgians. Also two that we are covering this month; Dutch and Rosecomb."
All bantam books I read do not make any distinction between "miniature fowl" and "bantams".
All small chicken are called "bantams" with distinction for "true bantams" and "miniaturized breed bantams".
Neither any of leading poultry websides (Feathersite and others) use term "Miniature Fowl" to describe bantanized breeds of standart fowl.
