Simple questions, but not easy to answer with pigeons. There are some signs to look for in birds under 3-6 months but unless banded with the year hatched you can't really know. For gender you can feel the width of the opening between pelvic bones - wider for hens, narrow for cocks but you probably need experience with a number of birds to use this method. I think the best way is to ask another pigeon, lol, by observing its behavior in the presence other birds of known gender. As to breeds, there are so many -
I suggest you get some more pics including closeups of the face/beak and post it on the pigeon talk thread(link below) over in the pigeon/dove forum. You should get some advice/guesses on all three questions.
All I can say from the pic is I think its a young bird, probably of breeding age and a very pretty saddle pattern.

Thanks for the tag @rjohns39 !

PS- Is your bird going to be a house pigeon? If so check with @Serin . Your bird might be a similar breed to his Olive, an amazing house pet!!
