Beautiful photo. Looks like pretty Pullet but would be easier to tell with side photo of entire body so can see saddle feathers.

That’s a beautiful boy! He will be handsome when he gets older!

Im leaning to boy 90% sure, looks double barred by the light feathering

Suspicious for cockerel due to tail feathers extending and downward position. See link to tell. If male will have more white in barring, be bigger with bigger combs/wattles and saddle feathers extending down and pointed. Of course crowing the most definitive but that can take awhile. May take up to 17 weeks to tell for sure.

I would wait for final decisions because still not completely sure. The carriage, comb, and wattle reminds me of Pullet as cockerels are more upright but wait to tell to see how combs, wattles, and feathers grow out. I think it is just too soon to tell. Maybe the tail is the choice of posture at the time if perks up then female. If tail grows up and down male.

Most likely a cockerel, but don't be in a hurry to relocate the bird. It's not 100 %,
