This bird is much more intensely colored than my other two EEs, as usual it was a sexed pullet. From the top the pattern seems to still flow evenly but, from the side all I see is that orangey/rusty color. I swear it's hackles have gotten lighter, but maybe it's just the deeper reddish tone that is tricking my eye. The comb has been wider at the top since it was 4 weeks old, no significant growth and not a drastic color change, no more red than the other two EEs. Legs and feet look the same as hatch mates.

I couldn't get a good photo of the comb, just blurs. I'll try again tomorrow. I need to reduce my flock and I don't want to re-home it as a female if it's a male.
