Definitely not a pure sebright. I see a beard and leg feathers coming in, so it’s a d’uccle x sebright.
Actually, unless your EE has feathered legs, the d’uccle has to be the unknown parent since feathered legs are dominant and one parent needs to show them for them to be in the offspring.

I’m learning something here. So, is it a possibility or a sure thing to get feather leg offspring if one parent shows it?

Depends. A parent with heavily feathered legs should always produce offspring with feathered legs, even if bred to a clean legged bird. However, birds with sparse leg feathering, even if they’re purebred (like marans, for example), can produce clean legged offspring.
 
My d'uccle is very heavily leg feathered..right now we have had moderate rain for 14 hours while the rest of her flock went out at least a while she doesnt, she appears to avoid mud pretty religiously
