What do you experts think ?

I'm leaning towards pullet.

Young Silkies can be notoriously difficult to sex, but I'm thinking it's a pullet.

Looks like a pullet to me.

I think it looks like a cockerel. I believe Im seeing splashy red coloring coming in on the wings.

 

[WonderlandFarms]

Yes it does have reddish feathers coming out on the wings. Is that indicative of a rooster?

It's my understanding that red splotches on wings=boy.

Most of the time, red on the wings does mean cockerel. However, your bird looks like a pullet in every other way, so I'm still thinking pullet. Color is not the most accurate way to sex a chicken.
