HELP!! sexing 4 week old barnevelder chicks

help!!! we just bought 2 barnevelder chicks that were said to be female but one of them seems to be an imposter. he/she has a slightly larger comb than the other, it’s back feathers are growing in more slowly, it’s tail sticks up a little more, it’s legs are more yellow and it’s very outgoing.

and this is bean, we don’t suspect her.

what are y’all’s thoughts????
I got seven Barnevelders as chicks, one I swore was a pullet turned out to be a cockerel. Also very friendly and outgoing. I suspect you have a cockerel but you never know 🤔 He also had a sl bigger comb like that. You can see the difference in pictures of mine at that age

Are you saying the first picture is a pullet or is it the chick?
