A crossover Quaker Scuti (F), A Sun conure named AC, A Cinnamon Green Cheek conure Kent, and 6 budgies, Scuti Jr. (f), yellow (m), clark Jr. (m), Dot (f), Zebra(f), Machine (m).
I'd guess female but 1) Does the bird like to hang with females or males more. Also 2) BirdIQ.com it's like 8 bucks to get a DNA test at least last time I did it.

If your bird is very close to or over 1 year she is female.
She looks to be of a pearl mutation and the pearl coloring goes away with male cockatiels after first molt.
