yes agree with deerman, if spalding it gets trickier with black shoulder.

In fourth pic, that's a pretty good back shot showing the difference between male and female black shoulder, with the female at bottom. Females start looking like the adult females, while the males get progressively darker. The male in top is starting to ger some solid dark feathers on back.

But also have to compare with birds less than 2 weeks age difference, a younger male might look 'female' if compared with an older male when the younger just hasn't yet started growing out dark feathers.
