Bit hard to tell from photos have a look at this link might help you decide http://www.flickr.com/photos/gjs1/2587975233/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I was not aware about the difference in feather colour above the beak, nares.

My cock bird looks like a cross between the two in your pics

As I said before it could be a Hermaphrodite. It happens explains a lot if it is.

So if it is, can i breed it? as a hen? Because its not doing the job as a cock bird

Bad news No, I suggest you take it to a vet to confirm

ok ty. Will buy a cock i think, try to pair it up. if i cant i will have it looked at
