What gender is this chick?

My buff Brahma rooster cross bread with my barred Rock hen. I was wondering if anyone knows what the gender is of this adorable baby chick? Photos attached. Thanks

Are you sure those are the parents? I can believe the buff Brahma as the father, but crossed with a barred rock I would expect mostly black chicks.

The wing feathers that are coming are black with a tan color.

I am not 100% sure that that the barred rock hen is the mother. It’s is also possible that the mother is a golden comet hen. Can you tell if it is a girl?

The reason I asked is because that cross of breeds is very similar to what is used to make black sex links at hatcheries. I'll post

That would make a lot more sense. It is too early to tell the gender. Around 6 weeks is when to start looking at size and color of the comb.
