The special ed RWBB is still hanging around in my backyard, and it does not look like his plumage has changed at all. Here are some clips from the last week, taken with different cameras (a Maxdone and a Ceyomur trailcam). It kind of looks like it behaves like a male, posturing when another bird comes close and also a bit for the female in the beginning.
I have not heard back from anyone official, but many birders seem to think this is gynandromorphism indeed. No matter what it is, I always love it when there is a special bird around, and this one seems to thrive here. (longer video in my Patreon and Youtube) - it is actually on the livestream right now!
