It's not a great picture with the black hen blocking the view of the saddle feathers and most of the tail... but the tail feathers I can see look masculine and then there's the crowing...

Quite a few folks seem to believe a bird of X age that hasn't crowed = female but that is definitely not the case. I've seen firsthand a rooster that didn't crow until after 6 months of age when he was already very obviously male by his appearance.
