It sounds like a little male, to me.
As Donna was saying, the juvie males develop the red blush to ward off adult male agression. As babies get older, the young males often get bright orange-red blush, while the females tend to stay more modestly colored. If you really want to know for sure, just look at the vent area.
Take Care.
