I’ve looked at pictures & read everything but I want to be sure this is a rooster!

I have a rooster amongst my flock and I have been trying to figure out who. I’ve read all about the signs to look for and I’m 99.999% positive it’s this guy but I don’t want any doubt. I was awoken at 4:30 this morning by crowing, went out there and I’m pretty sure it was him but it was 4:30am and I didn’t have glasses on. I grabbed him and put him in chicken jail (small dog crate in the garage) and there was no further crowing. All signs point to him but I don’t want to make a mistake and give away the wrong bird. Can you alleviate my worry? Photos of suspect (edited to add attached photos in case link doesn’t work)

Yep

With the bit of red feathering leaking through and darker comb than the others I can see I'd agree.

Correct.
