Maybe zoom in and take a good look at one o'clock and you will see the pointy saddle feathers.
Apart from this, the posture and thick legs give him away also.

I did. I see zero saddles. Not to mention this OP's birds are slow developers (like molasses in the winter time slow) and saddles don't typically become visible until 12 weeks on a good day.

Even one more hint to the gender. But never mind, having to squint far across the ocean from Germany to the U.S. might tweak the results.
