Found my buddy!

I was ridiculously happy to see a couple of photos posted by someone on another website, taken of one of the three owls that belong to "my" Great Horned Owl family! He kindly told me exactly where to find it and, sure enough, there he or she was, perched in a slightly different grove of trees to where I usually look. However, last year or the year before, I had also seen them sit in this particular place. Can anyone tell me if this would be the young one from earlier this year? To me, it looks more like a juvenile than an adult. I'd love to think that it's the baby I photographed over several months, looking all grown up. Anyone want to hazzard a guess as to whether it is a male or female?
