Is Cordelia...

Her comb isn't red red and she doesn't have any color to her face yet. I'm still saying pullet
 
Cockerel. The red patches on the wings and somewhat prominent comb usually mean cockerel with Easter Eggers.

At 8-9 weeks it isn't about being "red-red" - the comb has significantly more coloration than one would expect in a pullet. While the new pictures are not entirely clear with regards to the comb, they do appear to show a 3 row comb developing. OP, if you look at the comb straight on (naughty Cordelia is not too keen on giving you a good picture of it) how many rows do you see? Factor all this in with the plumage pattern that is developing = cockerel.
Oh, also the bird is an Easter Egger, not an Araucana (common misrepresentation)

Thank you for your info! There are three rows in the comb. Darn! I was really hoping he was a pullet! He is stunning!
