Needing confirmation this is a cockerel

It appears HE is a HE! His comb is still quite small, but I can see three rows of peas. Also, his entire face turned red overnight. He will be leaving this weekend for use in an Easter and Olive egger project.

Coloring in the saddle? Saddle feathers? Sorry, I don't understand...

I'm not familiar with Araucanas, but I'm still not convinced either way.
