x2 The coloring looks more patchy to me even though I don't see any reddish brown in any of the pics. A good clear shot of the bird standing and one from above would help. I think it is too young to have saddle or hackle feathers yet so looking for those at this point probably wouldn't help. It could possibly be a girl, but I am thinking it's a roo.
another thing i forgot to add: he/she will rear up and flap their wings (it only last for a few seconds) i can remeber my previous roosters did that often and i don't remember if any of my previous hens did that
is this a roostery action? but aren't roosters top of the flock even when their young, becuase Olive is the most picked on

The girls rear up and flap as well - stretching their back and their wings. They will also puff up their necks and kick box on occasion even though that is most commonly a boy behavior.
I hatched three eggs last year , one turned out to be a roo , i noticed that ( he ) developed quicker than his two sisters,his comb was more pronounced earlyer and his tail feathers also , it was 21 weeks before he tried to find his voice,
good luck
I am still really undecided on this one. I am not very good at sexing the white and black ones...lol I don't see anything that really stands out as rooish, but I am not 100% sure it is a girl. I really hope it's a girl for you!
I have a couple of white based EE pullets and have had several white based cockerels. I also have a splash Ameraucana. I would be putting yours in with the pullets based on feathering and comb.
Girl. Although highly convincing as a boy for those of us who know how to color-sex an Easter Egger, a black and white columbian type Easter Egger with absolutely no other color is indeed a girl.
