Yep, a male. That's all I've ever had, except albino's. I probably wouldn't know what a hen budgie looked like!! Hope you find a friend for your budgie. Does he have a mirror in there? That will sometimes keep them company.
Oh no!! I'm sorry! Male budgies have a bright blue cere, sometimes with a purple tint. Females have a dark brown one, so I would say it either is a male or is young. How old is the budgie?
We had one that would lay 4 or 5 eggs and set on them, screeching at any of the parakeets that would come near! She was the only cockatiel in the cage, so there was no way they were fertile! It was just wishful thinking I guess!
