15 week old Australop- Cockerel or Pullet?

[NoNeck]

I have a 15 or 16 week old Australop. At first I thought he was a cockerel, but now I am beginning to think he could maybe be a she?
I know the comb and wattle are big and bright, but I've never heard him crow or mate with my hens. My other australop who is the same age, has been crowing amd mating with my hens for weeks.
If it is a HE, could it be that he maybe has let my other rooster take over and he just isnt the dominant type? Or is this small looking guy, a hen?
For reference, in the last photo he is next to my barter white hen who is about 7 months old.

Our rooster had that comb and wattle at 8 wks. He's now 9 wks and crowing to beat the band. I'm leaning hen bird.

Can you put a your hand or a piece of paper under the saddle feathers and take another pic?
I'm thinking I can see some pointed saddle feathers there, but its hard to tell.

So far, looks like a cockerel to me

At 15 weeks she could be laying very soon.

Looks like a pullet to me, ..... scratch that first opinion. On second look, I see saddle feathers, and I think I see some long, arched tail feathers starting.
Cockerel.
My Australorps were late bloomers, too. Yep, a photo of the saddle feathers and tail feathers (need to see the TIPS of those feathers) would help a lot to determine the gender.

Oh, and my Aussies didn't start laying until 24-26 weeks of age - but this girl (if it's a girl) has a bright red comb and wattles - so she's close to laying soon. And some of my boys didn't start crowing until 16-17 weeks, attempting to mate by 26 weeks.

It's a cockeral... you can see the rooster feathering coming in right in front of the tail feathers.

He is 100% without a doubt a cockerel
