Young roo, what breeds?

On second thought, after seeing this picture, I think he is a Cuckoo Marans cross with Leghorn rather than a barred rock. A Cuckoo Leghorn.

he don't look like game if ya ask me. NO leghorn
 
I will post pictures on here when he has grown, maybe then it will be clearer. Here's a closer comparison on the Cuckoo Leghorn, see what you think. Still a bit young to tell for sure.

This little guy is now not so little and developed a crest so looks to be a legbar crossed with cuckoo marans rather than a leghorn. Also his comb and wattle is no where near as big as that in pictures I have seen of leghorns the same age or younger. Crowing well now too.
 


This pic shows his slight crest. Comb and wattle has more or less stopped growing now. This was taken a week ago and there are now clear hackle and saddle feathers coming through. He is about as tall as the hens which are 23 weeks old, he is only 16.
