Ameraucana mystery (sex)

Pics
I'm with @aart and @lomine. I see some clear male hackle feathers on this birds neck, and although there aren't any clear saddle feathers, some of his tail feathers are slanting and curving down. All my Ameraucana hens had or have the evenly defined, upward slanting tail feathers, like leghorn hens. Still, you might just have to wait until you hear a crow or see an egg. :D

Yes, I definitely see her tail going down in areas like you mention. Darn I wish it would crow or lay so I know lol!

I've had more then several pullets with down curving tail feathers at the age...
would have had me worried if not for other obvious female attributes.
 
Pullet. By 17 weeks there would be more signs pointing Cockerel if it was. Wow.. red comb.. many of my pullets have that. No pointy saddle feathers either. One of my hens has what looks like she has hackle feathers but she's clearly a hen so that says nothing much with the two traits together.
