I think its totally a girl! Look at those round feathers! She's 10 weeks so her comb is getting red, I have 18 ee pullets and 1 ee roo, they just started to lay at 16 weeks so at this age they had red combs but my roos comb was much larger than yours really early on

Ee do not have a standard so you can't say red comb or red shoulders is male for sure
The comb on an ee roo would be bigger than that and the feathers would be so thin and razor looking here is an example of my roo so you can see the dif and that you have an egg layer
About 8 weeksold...

See this little one right above in the corner of pic? Red comb and battles clean faced egg layer About 12 weeks old

Yours looks to me like some of my 18 ee pullets
 
EEs are slower to develoo comb and wattles but i agree male because of the red shoulder patches. I have a brown colored EE cockerel that i was holding out hope to be a pullet until it crowed in my face. I said "D*****" and that is now his name lol
 
Pullet. Neck feathers are rounded. I have 3 EE's, aged 12.5 weeks. Unfortunately, one is a male - it is obvious even though he is not crowing yet. Here are the pictures of the male, note the pointed neck feathers and the pointy saddle feathers (near the tail) that are coming in. In addition, there is A LOT more red on his shoulders than yours. Also, their combs will be more red if they are excited/running around/being chased or trying to get away from you and your camera.

For comparison, here are the 2 female EE same age as the boy. There is red coloring on the shoulders of the female, but much less. I had added the notes when I was asking on this forum if my male EE was really a male (hoping it was a girl, but no such luck).
