I don't have pics of him at that age, but I do have some of others. He looks like a blue wheaten would. The colors in the males of this variety are often all over the place when they are growing up. You have to be patient and wait until they are at least about seven months old before really judging them. Sometimes longer. The beard on my blue wheaten male had more white than blue in it when I showed him last year. Now it has more blue, so it took awhile with him. Here is a picture of a couple young males. I can't remember their age when I took them, but one is much younger than the other. You can see how the feathers start changing color as they get older.
At this point, your blue looks female, but, that dark patch showing on the wings has me wondering. The comb looks female to me.
The blue male's feathers will start darkening up on the head, wing and saddle area and form a cape of dark feathers. The pointy saddle feathers sometime don't show up until maybe fourteen or so weeks of age. So, I don't know if it's just the lighting in the pic or if your girl does have some darker edging on her wings, but I would just keep an eye out for darkening patches of feathers in those areas. That's usually how I can tell a blue male from a blue female early on. Both of these pictures are of young blue males. Notice how some of the feathers are starting to darken.
