I probably shouldn't interject since it has been 60 years since I raised pheasant but it looks like a girl, is it developing spurs yet?
In chicks, the females will have a sloped head and males a more blocked head. Males will show wattles bigger than girls.

First pic is a male. Second pic, first bird is male, middle bird, female, last bird male. Third pic, is a female. Forth pic, I can't tell for sure, not at a good angle to tell. 5th and 6th pics, are male. In the 5th pic, there is a bird behind the male bird but it is too dark to tell what gender.
