Looking for the knight sporting a rooster!

I acquired a metal mounted figure several years ago of a mounted knight with a "rooster" crest on helmet. The surcoat and horse caparison on the horse is mainly yellow. On the caparison were two roosters front and rear on each side. The figure was sculpted in Russia and is about 90mm. I have checked through a couple of sources...."The Complete Guide to Heraldry"and Osprey, Elite Series #17 "Knights At Tournament" but cannot identify this fellow. I did see a picture of this fellow in Osprey's Warrior Series #18 "Knights of Outremer" (plate J...#15a) but still do not know who he is.

If anyone has a clue who this knight is, and further, sources where I can get more data on him it would be appreciated.
