Rooster or Hen?

Hello,

My friend found a chicken in their front yard which wasn’t claimed by anyone, so I brought it home. They told me it’s a hen, but it doesn’t look like my hens at all, so I’m suspecting it might be a rooster but I really don’t have enough experience with chickens to know. I’m not allowed to keep a rooster in my city, so it’s very important for me to know which it is. Could someone help me by looking at photos?

The comb looks like a rooster but I don't see any pointed feathers on it's back or hackles. So I'm not sure which it is. Could you get a better picture of it's back feathers? the body looks like a female's body. :hmm
 
If it were a male it would have male feathering,plus it’s an adult,it’s a Defiantly female.Combs aren’t really what Seperate hens from roosters as many hens have huge combs.
 
here are more photos of its behind, just confirming if everyone still thinks its a hen? she looks really different from my two other buff orpington hens! Just want to be 100 percent sure, thanks everyone!
