Any ideas on breed or gender

I'd say Sumatra mix pullet (maybe just hatchery quality rather than mix).

You mean the iridescence? Hens can show plenty of iridescence, it's just more common in roos. Here's some pics to illustrate (not my photos):

Cocks, on the other hand, will show long, thin, sharp feathers, in addition to the iridescence.

Its feathers on its neck are like you described, long and pointy
