If it is a purebred,1st generation Red Sex-Link, it could be a male. However, at least in the photos, it doesn't look like its down was the normal whitish color of a male Red Sex-Link. It may just be a lighter marked female.
 
It's my understanding and experience that pullets grow their tails longer earlier. Eventually the Rooster will grow a longer tail but the pullet grows theirs first.

With my Astralorps all my pullets had long tails when my cockerels still had stubby little butts.
