Can you get a very clear close-up of the comb area with the crest pushed back?

I am going with pullet. At 3 months I would expect more secondary characteristics if it were a cockerel.
Silkies are famously difficult to sex, so I reserve the right to be wrong.

Spots look good, mine did not have that many as a chick. He developed more over time and was funny looking for awhile. He ended up gorgeous though! 5 months old in the profile photo.

He look nice for 5 months old !!! This is my roo he barely have any spots but a lot leakage tho he’s almost a year .

Yours is still a handsome boy!
Apparently the leakage is fairly common in the paints due to the dominant white. Mine has some too, I prefer to call it “Champagne” colored.

This is what he looked like as a chick. Only had a few spots on his back mostly. Also had very pink skin but this all darkened over time.
