Gender based on parents mutation

Trying to figure out a gender of my cinnamon pied tiel who is 3 months old. It’s hard to judge from the behaviour. It’s been with us only over a week but it’s super confident, inquisitive and not shy at all. It doesn’t sing though (does flock calling when we leave the room) and it started making this weird noises like female mating calls…
The dad is normal pied and a mother is whiteface with cinnamon on her wings. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of the parents, just 5 babies they produced. Would you be able to help please? Thank you

You would probably have to get it DNA'd. In order for it to be a boy, the father would have to be split to cinnamon or visual for that mutation. In order for it to be a girl, the father and mother would both have to be visual for that mutation. The father can also be split for it as well, but the mother can't be split for cinnamon. Since the dad is just a normal pied, and the mom is a cinnamon, then the cinnamon baby could be either a boy or a girl. Something interesting worth noting though is that the father is split to cinnamon since he had a cinnamon chick.
