This one has only confused me; do you see white rings around the nostrils, in reality?? As a recessive pied (that’s a guess without seeing the whole bird) if male he won’t get the bright blue cere. I’m going to stick with male, looking at both photos together. Recessive pieds can be difficult.

The second is a great photo; you can even see his little “eyelashes”.
