From the standard I've read on Pit games, I personally would think his legs are about right. It calls for "Medium length" then they also have "Medium length" thighs. He's pretty close I think, I wouldn't call him high stationed. Here's the standard though:
Male Characteristics
CARRIAGE - Proud, defiant and aggressive looking, with movements quick and graceful, ready for any emergency, vigorous, alert, agile.
HEAD - Powerful, medium in length, skin of face and throat smooth and fine in texture, loose and flexibile at throat but not flabby.
COMB (a) single comb variety - Small, erect, firm, straight and evenly serrated; (b) pea or triple comb variety - small, the center division being slightly higher and longer.
Ear-lobes and
wattles smooth and close fitting, Dubbing is permitted. Beak Stout and strong at the base, well curved and pointed, the upper and lower mandibles locking together like a vice when closed.
EYES large, bold, fiery and fearless.
NECK - Fair length, strong boned and slightly arched, well developed at junction with body.
BODY - Heart shaped.
BACK fairly short and flat, broad at shoulders, with deltoid muscles well developed but maintaining the shoulder width across the back from thigh to thigh, tapering to a fine stern at set of the tail, the body on top shaped like a flat-iron with full and well rounded sides. Shoulders well braced, high and prominent, without any tendency to hollowness between.
BREAST broad, prominent and full with pectoral muscles strongly developed, curving under sharply to show well defined junctions of the thighs.
BELLY - Compact and tight, free as possible from fluff feathers, with clean run behind from back of thighs to the vent, not full or baggy - this is most important.
WINGS - Fairly long and powerful,
wing bows well rounded,
wing butts stout and prominent,
secondaries and
primaries with strong quills, well webbed and folded tightly, the secondaries completely covering the primaries when wings are closed.
TAIL - Medium length, carriage moderately elevated not drooped or squirrel, but to be governed by the character of the fowl.
PLUMAGE - Hackles, true tail, sickles and side-hangers to be of moderate length and fullness according to the character of the fowl, the whole plumage throughout to be hard, sound, resilient, smooth and lustrous.
HANDLING - Body well balanced, hard, firm, yet somewhat light fleshed, corky, mellow and warm, with strong contraction of wings and thighs to body when in hand.
LEGS AND FEET - Neither stilty nor stubby, medium in length to suit the character of the fowl, and so placed as to ensure movements of forced and activity -
THIGHS medium in length, set fairly well apart, well developed and muscular, curved at junction with the body and tapering off to clean bone and sinew immediately above the
hock joint to ensure movements of force and activity.
HOCKS slightly bent, but not to such an extent as to give the bird a crouched appearance.
SHANKS & FEET clean, fine and strong boned, medium length, round in front and flat on all sides with wiry tendons showing. Even and close fitting scales.
TOES four, well spread apart, medium length with powerful toe-nails, hind toe carried well back from the leg and nearly flat on the ground, and showing no tendency to duck heel.
SPURS hard, set low on the leg - cutting permitted.
