Well, the "lesser elves" were mostly ruled by "higher elves", like Lórien was ruled by a Noldo, all of Beleriand by a Thingol, a Sinda, who was homewer counted to Calaquendi, and so actually as high as the Noldor.

So probably Thranduil and Legolas were both counted to the Sindar. Maybe Legolas just spoke of his people when he said "we silvan folks".. Or maybe Tolkien just hadn't made up his mind when writing this.

Edit: (Graah. Of course I meant Calaquendi.. That Moriquendi just came from.. somewhere :P)
