The chicken I know as Kitty Foreman looks more and more like Red Foreman to me, but what do I know?

Red feathers are everywhere, including several tail feathers, so I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next unfurling! What do you think? Kitty or Red?

Per the pinned thread, I have included every angle I could manage for critical feathers. I also did my best for the comb (I had to steal frames from a video).
Last week, before molting:

I cheated as I never know sexes for months with my silkies, so looked up some minorcas. I think you have a Kitty there. Very beautiful whatever sex though!
 
It does have deeper colored shoulders and the comb and wattles have some development. But I still think it's a pullet. This breed has very large combs and wattles so I think the development with this one is on par with a pullet. Anyway, that's my vote. The next couple of weeks are when male specific feathering should start coming in if it's a cockerel.
 
I am guessing pullet. I would expect much larger and redder comb and wattles at this age for a minorca if it was a cockerel. I am not seeing any male specific feathering either
 
Update @ 19 weeks. Not perfect pics.
