White Leghorn Father, not sure about the mother

Not only does he have the red, he has a few small barred feathers.
I know for sure his father is white leghorn.
Mother possibilities are:
Rhode Island Red
Barred Rock
A hen that looks exactly like a RIR, but may not be purebred?? May have some barred rock or Lakenvelder in her.
My 2 questions are
1. What breed(s) do you think his mother was (father was white leghorn)?
2. If crossed with a Buff Orpington hen, what will the chicks look like? (I have both him and a Buff rooster with the hens, and I'd like to know which chicks are purebred.)
