I feel like this one is a little suspect but nothing is showing me that it's one way or another yet. It has a more uneven color pattern (which would indicate male) but the pattern continues down the tail so it's not as uneven and splotchy as I would expect from a male EE. The comb is still small and pale which would indicate female. I can't see the legs but if you have another EE the same age, try to compare leg size. It's not a fool proof method but cockerels will often have thicker legs at this age.

I'd say wait a little bit longer (few weeks) and get some full body pictures of the side and one showing the comb better. Post here and we'll hopefully be able to confirm by then.
