99% sure she is an EE hen, but her color throws me off.

She is 5 months old, I thought only roo's were this color? But I'm pretty sure she is a hen.
 
The only tail pic I have, very feminine tail, look at her hatch mates very roo-y tail you can see in the background.

EE pullet. A cockerel of this color will show some color in the shoulders and/or neck and saddle. Also, a cockerel at this age would have saddle feathers anyway.

I have an EE roo that looks just like her except he is 4 months old. Much larger tail and hackle feathers. Larger and redder comb as well. That is a pretty pullet. Ours was banded as a pullet but turned out differently.
 
I have one just like her (well very similar, mine looked like yours when a bit younger but is darkening up, so yours might as well ), she is now 6 months old.
