Please tell me this is a pullet/hen!!

then yea, that's a pullet.
that’s what we’re pulling for! Checked out your profile, looks like you work with the breed so that makes me more confident. 3 1/2 months, it should at least TRY to crow or get a pea comb.. right? The feathers are misleading but, I’ve seen chooks with “pointier” feathers or tails that should’ve been a rooster by all the indications, but then they lay..

Well, at this age they should be finishing up their adolescent molt. A ((EDIT!)) MALE would have a VERY obvious pea comb right now, and not that squat pink one.

I do have araucana... but mine are the US standard, so rumpless and I have a couple tufted. Here's a thread we have all about araucana, and we welcome more people getting in on the conversation. :)
