14 week old BO chick one is a boy...what is the other?

Just went for a visit to the coop. The boy on the right came running up, and gave me a snuggle on my legs. Then the chicken to the left came up, and looking at it up close again, I am thinking a girl, like Blessedmama was saying, but just matured faster than the shy chick. I think it may have got more food by not being shy. The colors show in the pic, but up close there is a big diff between waddle color. I will post more pics later...
 
They say pics don't lie...here are more, The chick in question... kinda shine-y that back, got me wondering all over again...

I was not sure for a while, butt i think this pic with the shine-y back seals the deal. The other hens backs are dull.

plus that fluffy under butt feathers like you said coming in...This is just a non-mature male. It makes sense, I gave away obvious males at 8 weeks old and kept the hens, and the I am not sures. Then kept this one and the other one, out of about 20 or so males, these 2 were the nicest ones. And still are...
