Newbie here! I'm told this is a pullet (female). Do you agree or have any other thoughts?

Do you have a side picture?
Unfortunately, I don't.. these are the only two pictures I've received. Picking her up this weekend so I'll have more pics then! We'll, hopefully it's a her lol. Does anything in the 2 pics seem to sway you one way or the other?

The crest looks kinda boyish, longer feathers at back of head. I can’t say for sure, some birds grow their crest in all weird and I can’t see saddle feathers.

I got more pictures! I'm really hoping this is a pullet. This is my first silkie but from the research I've been doing, I'm having my doubts on the gender.

Looks like a girl! Head feathers look to be the same length all over. Crest is probably that shape because of a vaulted skull. I don’t see long saddle feathers that would indicate boy.
