RIR male or female?

Winter Springs, FL

Here is my 10 week old RIR. There is no crowing yet. Her comb is barely pink. She usually holds her tail up but I think she was wondering what I was doing with the camera. I've had such bad luck with having all roo's. Well what do you think? Here are a few pictures.

I really don't know but I'll be the optimist and say she's a pullet since her comb is pale and she has no real wattles. Can you see the shape of the hackle feathers?

Great thanks, I did find a picture of a younger one that was a roo and it had a huge red comb. Glad its a hen.
