Which is closer?

So I know this is probably a game breed. But would a brown leghorn be closer to this coloration, or a Welsummer?

Brown Leghorn, probably. From pictures, it almost appears the hackle plumage on BLs bears a golden hint, much like this beautiful young man (whereas those of Welsummers are generally more solid fiery orange). Leghorn body type and earlobe color are closer, as well.

That's what I was leaning toward. I'm hoping to raise one next year with a new flock of layers. Thank you!
