Best guess?

This is a tough one. Could you maybe get a shot of your baby's head and neck from the back? I can't tell how far down the white spot stretches. Head shape looks male to me, I noticed a distinct difference in head shape between my male and female BR. My male had a much runnier spot than yours does, but my female had just a dollop of white that did not extend down the back at all and yours appears to run down just a bit. Both of mine had leg wash, my female had much more of a leg wash but without brooder mates to compare to it's hard to say for yours. I'm leaning toward male but I'm torn.

Also see a lot more white on that one than I did on other female BR chicks. More points for male

The little boys always win me over too, they are definitely sweeter in my opinion. My little Druid was a BR cockerel and he was the first chick I bonded with right away in the store and I bought him even though I was sure he was male lol. I wish I could take him off your hands but both my sebrights just turned out mele and I'm not getting rid of them so my hands are full!
