I would say a little pullet

To make a good guess it would help to have a couple more pictures of the bird - preferably at least one that is from the side and shows the whole bird while standing (so we can clearly see legs, tail, full color patter, the way the body is proportioned, etc). I know it can be difficult to get good pictures without holding them still, but doing so eliminates a whole lot of the bird from view. It can help to either place the bird in a box that's turned on it's side so you can shoot from the front and the bird is "contained" or to place out some "bait" piles of food to keep them in one place long enough to shoot a few images in the hopes of getting a clear one - or using a zoom feature and shooting pictures as the birds move around feeling more natural and more inclined to hold still now and then.

My guess is a pullet also. I think if it was a Cockrell it's comb would be raised a little more.

Ah, yes, see the side shot makes a big difference in breed characteristics. The first one appears to have five toes and dark skin -but clean leg - and a head dress coming in, sound accurate?

Or -- is that a bit of fuzz I see on the raised leg? (hard to tell if it's blur or fuzz)
