Peafowl... Male or Female?!?!

I would be very interested in seeing pictures of these again in a couple of months, because at 5 months my hens look like this (pictures are of four different hens):

Green Pea

Black Pea

Orange Pea

Blue Pea

And this is their brother:

Indian blue peachicks are not difficult to be sexed!

... but peachicks of Lilmadhoward are a little bit spalding !
But the principle is the same!
Male: the front neck and back neck are the same color.
Female: the front neck and back neck are NOT the same color.Feathers are lined with gray.
Here a neck of a young female highest percentage spalding ...front neck brown lined and the back neck green !

You guys are amazing and very knowledgable, thank you for all of your input.

Casportpony, your ladies are quite a bit different than mine, it would be great to see yours in a few months too, they’re beautiful.

If my IB have some Spalding blood does that mean that they may become more aggressive than a true IB?

Here’s another picture of my purple ringed bird from a different angle.
