I agree he does appear to be a ginger red. You can find a representation on Cackle's Hatchery's site.

With the exception of leg color. Nankis legs are darker. I think its a ginger red OEGB

Oh your right, yes they do. The human race must be very bored when they can make chickens that look exactly like each other with the exception of leg color.

Nankins are blue (or slate) legged, just as Ginger reds are. Which is why i said black tailed buff old english. They're white legged and many of the black tailed buff possess ginger red genes. Giving them the dark coloration sometimes.. Just like many gingers possess the genes from black tailed reds, and red quills black tailed buffs plus gingers (depending on the way people decided to breed/use).

Just an observation. The pretty roo in question looks like has white ear lobes and the pics of the nankin don't look white.
I hope you find him some lovely ladies.

He does look to have white earlobes if he does then I don't think he is a OEGB..
OEGB don't have white earlobes...
