What Breed is this Cockerel?

[Shellz]

It has come into question that my Basque cockerel may not actually be a Basque. It doesn't bother me in any way, but I am curious as to what he might actually be. He is 12 weeks old.

Looks like a mix. Barred Rock X ?

Black Sexlink = Rhode Island Red Roo X Barred Rock Hen, the girls turn out almost solid back as chicks wind up with red on their chests/necks the boys are barred like their mother and can wind up with red on them as well

Or could be a Legbar Roo = Sexlink as well

Just out of curiosity, what makes this roo possibly not Basque?

I've gotta say, my cockerel looks more like a Cream Legbar than a Basque. He's a one-of-a-kind chicken here & will remain a pet. He's a real sweetie!
