Do you agree that the one the left is a pullet and the one on the right is a cockerel? To what degree of certainty?

Hey y'all,
Hoping for a little help with a light Brahma chick.

We fell prey to chicken math this year and picked up three additional chicks at our local feed store. A Buff Orpington (Blanche), a Black Australorp (Ebony), and a Light Brahma (Willow). Our current flock contains nine hens (Rhode Island reds and Plymouth barred rocks), and a rooster(Silver Laced Wyandotte).

The chicks about 5 weeks old now, still rather early to guess, I know... But guess we do! Since different breeds feather out at different rates, and I have zero Brahma experience, I was hoping to get the community's opinion as to this little one. Any thoughts?
