6-week OE and EE - sexing help please

This bird is 100% a pullet. She doesn't even have red patches or a red comb for her age. Reddish shading on shoulders is completely normal for a pullet. It indicates cockerel when it's super saturated and bright while standing out from the surrounding pattern. She doesn't have this trait. Here's an Easter Egger cockerel of similar age and pattern. Very different saturation of colors and location :)

ok - that is definitely a whole different shade than the orange on my bird - I see what you mean. And that same color is part of the tail feathers, etc., too. Thanks!

To @nuthatched's point - everything reads pullet on the body, but it's such a weird bird. Even the hackle feathers look pretty rounded as feathers, but the pattern makes them look pointier. And the comb is redder than my peacombed olive egger. It's a lot of little pieces that are borderline.
