Rumpless wonder

It is a cockerel and not an ameraucana or araucana. It has yellow legs. Ams have slate legs and araucanas have willow legs. I would say it is an easter egger.

Thanks! Phew. I'm happy he's a roo. I need one anyhow. So should I assume the multi coloration is a hallmark of 'roosterism'? Like calico cats being all female and orange cats being male (with of course a few rare exceptions)
It would really help with sexing. I notice EE/OE hens are largely uniformly or bicolored but roosters sport many fabulous colours. Am I on the right track?

You're absolutely on the right track. With these birds (ee) they usually aren't a "color" per se, but you can see male and female patterns. Males are bright and flashy, designed to draw attention. Hens are drab, more uniform color, designed to blend in on a nest. There's a great, long thread about sexing Easter eggers by color, lots of nice pictures to help train your eye.
