15 week old Australop- Cockerel or Pullet?

Chiming in meaning. To add ones comment or OPINION to a conversation or discussion. Doesn't mean incorrect or correct. Just not in agreement to all in the conversation. Isn't a discussion group just that? Some members on here need to give their input in a less snarky way.
 
Cockerel. I’m not sure why anyone would say pullet. They make good boys usually if you can keep him.
I said pullet at first because I did not notice the saddle feathers, the tail feathers appeared rounded on the ends, I saw no hackle feathers, and the legs looked a bit thin for a cockerel. I corrected my mistake as soon as I saw the saddle feathers, and noticed the arch to the tail.
 
I appreciate everyones help !! I have attached some closer photos of his feathers to see if we can solidly say 100% he is a he :)
Middle photo is the underview of his wing. I thought this might help see the ends of his feathers better.

At this age, this is not where you'd notice the majority of male specific feathering. Try the saddle and neck area. But even so, I still notice a few feathers that indicate male
