Question for American Revolution/War of Independence experts - could this figure be AWI 11s British Guard or Fusilier advancing?

About this blog...
This site is one of a family of (currently) three blogs for people interested in old 20mm and "true 25mm" wargames figures. The others are the Hinton Hunter (concentrating on Hinton Hunt) and the Old Metal Detector (other manufacturers).
Minifgs S Range figures can be hard to identify with absolute confidence, partly through a lack of contemporary photographic catalogues, partly because the code numbers scratched on the underside of infantry figures' bases may be obscured by later basing or by filing, and because code numbers are not present on cavalry figures, while one Napoleonic Lancer looks very like another.
If you spot any mistakes in the attribution of any of the figures here, or can supply pictures for any of the figures missing them, I would be very glad to hear from you.

Its hard to see the detail but from what I can see it looks unlikely.
The tricorne is too pointy and appears to have a ball tuft rather than a cockade and it looks like there he has a sword though from this angle it could just be a lonnnng bayonet.
I would expect a Fusilier to wear a pointy bearskin anyway.
Possibly a French soldier?
Thanks Ross - good call.
I think it is AWI 18s French Light Infantry Advancing - there is a picture elsewhere on this blog if you want to take a look.
The base has been filed but the remains of "AWI" can be seem so its definitely from this range.
Large cartridge case too..
