I can not figure this breed out!! Please help.

What blows my mind is that an instructor would feature a breed/color so uncommon. A setup for failure.

Good detective work! Feathersite is calling this variety 'yellow white mottled' Sablepoot bantam. They have a photo, too.

In America we call these booted bantams, not sablepoots. This variety is not accepted by the Standard of Perfection.

I will tell you what my teacher says... I turned it in today.

Make sure you show us the results of this assignment, @Show Sebright! I'm curious to know what the instructor says this bird is.

That’s a male Red Sexlink.

It might be hard to see between posts but here's a side by side for you.

"Amber White" is simply a male Red Sexlink. It's not the breed pictured! I will say, including a Booted Bantam in the assignment and not clearly mentioning the feathered legs is so odd to me. IRL, those feathered legs would likely be the most easily noticed trait :/

I'm no expert but I believe this bird is just mottled. Doesn't millefleur require a Columbian base in order to add black edges to the white mottling?

No, this pattern is Mille Fleur with dominant white added. The dominant white changes the black spots to white and lightens the gold color. Mottling will add the black band with or without columbian, it's not related.
