It looks like a male to me. Like with a white colored Bob, which are difficult to sex sometimes, I look at the head size when full grown. Males have a larger head. Also, as you mentioned, there is some white near the chin. Hope that helps.
 
Sorry, When I heard larger head I had to giggle...gorgeous birds!

I do believe that is a hen!! Unless it is a TR cross. All my TRBW are pure and my hens have a white patch on their chests and the males do not. All my TRBW roos have black heads and no white markings.

Now if you were thinking " Same in humans." then sadly, you are right. I need to buy special hats.


If you were thinking "off color" that's why I wrote the male has a bigger head. The correct term for a male bird didn't sound family friendly in that context, lol.
