Wheaten Marans 6wks - pullet or roo?

[Choook]

I don't have any experience with wheaten marans so I'd greatly appreciate the advice of someone with more experience in sexing my 6-wk old wheaten marans.

The shoulder, chest and leg feathers are a reddy clay colour - which is darker than the wheat colour I'd expect for a pullet, but not black which I'd expect for a roo. On the other hand, the black wing feather tips look roo-like, and the comb is probably bigger/redder than I'd like for a pullet at this age (not huge, I'm just... regularly checking!).

I've been looking at threads on here that mention a clay wheaten marans, so if "she" fits the phenotype of one of these pullet types I'd be very happy, because "he's" if a roo I can't keep him, and don't even think I could sell him either because he doesn't seem to fit the usual breed parameters. (If clay is a possibility, how then do you tell between roo and pullet - is it just a wait until they lay or crow waiting game?)

Have tried to capture front, top and wings in the pics below. Many thanks for looking!

His comb and wattles are reddening it appears. Pullets stay a peachy yellow for quite some time. I have not had this breed so please take with a grain of salt.

I think it's a cockerel, just looking at the comb. The wheatens I'm familiar with would be male based on all those black feathers too.

Sigh - I think the rule is, if I have to ask, it's a roo and I'm in denial! Anyone in Melbourne want a free off-colour rooster???

Hate to agree, but that's a cockerel.

I'm also going with cockerel. For reference, one of my Wheatens when fully feathered -

Of course, the coloration looks just a bit off for Wheaten....perhaps I'm seeing things? Regardless, he's beautiful.
