Pullet or Roo? Anyone have a guess as to what breeds it may be mixed with?

Hi all.  I picked up this little beauty about a month ago when I bought a few hens.  The person I bought them from wasn't sure what it was mixed with but said it was definitely a pullet.  Now that it has grown a bit I'm convinced it's a Roo.   Can anybody confirm if it's a pullet or roo?  Also, any ideas as to what breeds it might be mixed with?  Thanks.   Sorry, the pics are not the best.

Yeah, I figured I would need better pics.  It was hard to get close up.  My daughter and her friend are into photography and are supposed to do some picture taking today.  I'll have them get up close and then I'll post them.  Thanks.

not sure how old it is.  The person I got it from did have easter eggers.  He had no idea what it was and didn't want it.  It was so darn cute that even though I didn't really need any additional chickens, I couldn't help but take it.  I named it Monet because of its beautiful coloring.  I absolutely love this bird.   I just hope it's not a rooster because I already have three.  Thankfully my two big roosters are very close.

It is really hard to tell from this distance. Could you send a better on? I would say it's a hen. Looks like an EE with some Buff Orpington

Mixed breed pullet.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
