Barred rock male or female?

Date sort Score sort
any pointy saddle feathers? any pointy hackle feathers?
I would guess pullet just because the comb and wattled aren't that big or red just yet and by 10 weeks most roosters would have more comb and wattle development.
also I would say pullet because the white on the baring aren't as thick and roosters.

however in your second and 3rd picture it looks like I can see a what looks like a rooster saddle feather.

I thought Barred Rock could be sexed by their color. The males were more black on white...and the females white on black. Is the color pattern not a guarantee?
 
There are SO many variations of black/gray thin/wide lighter/darker striping and amounts of gray wash on legs -n- toes & also the comparison of small/larger symmetrical head spots of chicks that I would vote no to the pattern of a BR being a guarantee... until it's aged enough to be apparent.
