Black Copper Marans, 12 weeks, Male or Female??? PICS

[rsneddon10]

So black copper marans have so much variety within the breed. The comb and wattles tell you little in this breed. They are notorious for having big combs early in some . The copper should only be in the neck area on pullets. Copper on the wings , chest and tail are cockerel traits

Hey guys, we have a 12 week old maran youngster & struggling to determine if it's a pullet or a roo, just wondering, did these predictions turn out to be correct? Ours looks more like number 1 of the 3 pictured after the initial image

It is about 12 weeks old. All the pics are the same bird. I am stumped, the neck feathers are kind of pointy, but the hackles are not. Also, if you look close, the black color on the neck feathers makes them look more pointy than they are - look close and you can see the actual feather is more rounded. The feathers are shiny and iridescent, but the coloration to me says pullet. HELP! THANKS!!!

It looks like a cockerel to me.
