My Rooster has a name but I don't know what he is?

he's a mix no telling what is in his background...i am thinking that he had a barred mom (more than likely a barred rock) with a white leghorn dad due to the white on his ear lobes only thing is his legs dont look that yellow...
 
He looks like Privett's barred leghorn.

My leghorns legs are not yellow, not as yellow as my rocks anyway. My first thought was Leghorn for sure. He is a light barred whatever because roos carry 2 copies of the barring gens so they are lighter than a pullet. My guess is he has a lot of leghorn in him.
 
The previous owner says he is a Light Barred Rock!
Any pure barred roo (two barred parents) is lighter than a hen with two barred parents. There's no "light" and "dark", really.

I totally see the leghorn. Sorry, there is no Rock in that bird. Way too light, too much comb, too upright.
