What is Sparkle? Updated pics Jan 4 longer tail feathers coming in

We never could decide a few months ago what Sparkle is, hopefully someone might recognize him now:

The second shot makes him look like a game or Phoenix cross, especially the tail shape and carriage. Crossed with what, I'm not sure. And the legs, although white, may not be from a white-legged breed. My Barred Rock over Blue Ameraucana pullet has white legs like a Marans-the BR has yellow and Ameraucana has slate, so it combined strangely.

Thank you both, he's just so gorgeous and his temperment matches, he's a lover. I'm getting rid of 4 roosters and trying to decide which ones, I just have too many. He's one of my keepers.

Oh he's lovely! I'd agree with SpeckledHen, possibly a phoenix cross. Something else gave him more bulk and a rosecomb.

Sparkle has suddenly had a bunch of tail feathers get realllllllly long compared to the others. He wouldn't cooperate for a better pic, I was chasing him with my phone lol!! Maybe we can get a better idea now? And I'll try and get a better pic of his fanny with the camera.

Thank you, he's helping build the larger pen right now,, he sits on the fence, he sits on the hammer, he sits on me,,,

That enormous comb sure looks like the one in that Redcap picture...maybe Silver Phoenix x Redcap? (Phoenixes are a lot shorter and thinner, but they do have a similar face and bright white earlobe).
