What color is my ameraucana chicken?

It's an Easter Egger cockerel.

When I saw the pics the rusty colored feather tips made me think this EE was a cockerel, was that right? Or is the pointy sickle feathers what tells you it’s a cockerel? I’m trying to learn more about spotting the girls from the boys! I’m learning a lot from your posts

I'm going primarily by feather coloring. Pointy hackle and sickle feathers on younger EE can be hard to spot due to feather patterning. Stance and conformation also appear masculine, but this can be misleading.

Thank you!
