6-1/2 weeks old. Any guesses? Do you need another to compare to?

Leghorns can be confusing because the females can grow such large combs early. I'm guessing pullet, but a body shot including legs would help. I'm basing this on the lack of color in the comb, but I'm far from positive. Leg thickness would help, too.
 
I'm guessing cockerel. Leghorns do grow quicker than other birds, and develop larger combs at an early age, but that is a lot of comb for a six week old. Still, "it" could still be female. Post some more photos in a few weeks.
