My guess from your description is that it's a male that hasn't found its "voice" yet, but hard to tell for sure!

I have a young 4 month old yellow gouldian. I thought she was a she, as she would sit with one of the hens and tweet. Then I noticed she would sit and stare at a young cock that was starting to sing. I thought she might be infatuated

Two days later she was singing, so she's a he.
