I have a rooster in the mix and don't know who it is. Help please!

I agree, the buff silkie looks like a cockerel. The white silkie was my first assumption until I scrolled down. Not overly familiar with silkies though so don’t hold me to it. Beautiful birds though. They are far more photogenic than mine lol.
 
My backyard flock is now almost 20 weeks old. Over the past couple days I have gone outside and heard crowing. Once I get to the coop it stops and I can't identify the culprit. Roosters aren't allowed in my town and houses are close together so I need to deal with this ASAP before my neighbors complain. I bought sexed chicks online so they should all be females but you never know.

Here's my flock (it was hard to get pictures of them):

And then this is my current main suspect: Buff Silkie (which I know are very hard to sex):

Any help or assistance given would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Yeah that orange brown silkie is your rooster. I guarantee it. Watch him and he will crow.or should I say spy on him.
 
I have two silkie roosters and I can tell you the buff one is definitely a boy and he's very pretty.

I'm not supposed to have roosters and I live in the middle of downtown so I made some Velcro neck strap similar to a no crow rooster collar and my neighbor's not only don't complain but don't even know I have roosters
