I acquired this bantam RIR about 3 months ago. I was told "she" was hatched last year. By looking at this picture can anyone tell the gender? She looks just like the other one that I have that is for sure a rooster, except a little smaller. "She" doesn't lay eggs. Also, "she" doesn't' crow and has half inch long nubs for spurs that are not boney or pointy. My Golden Comet pullets only have a small bump for spurs. If this picture doesn't provide enough detail I'll try to get a profile photo.

 
She looks like a boy from this angle, but a side view would confirm this.
 
Both have the same feather pattern around the neck and saddle. The rooster doesn't try to mate with this one either. Thanks for the comments. Is there such a thing as an underdeveloped rooster that doesn't have all the male characteristics?
 
Seems like everyone agrees that it's a boy. Here's a side view picture though. The "for sure" rooster is in the background.
