Leaf bud or male?

Just wondering if this is a new leaf or is this the male pre flowers? I have finally figured out the females. But I have yet to see a live male. The pics I have seen of a male plant kinda look like this. But still unsure of myself. I already screwed up and pulled 2 Blueberry clones cause I thought the were hermies. I don't want to screw up and pollinate my garden by a missed male.:confused: All and any help appreciated.

Notice that it is a ball on a tiny little stem...
Also, what I noticed from my plants, new growth lacks the stem, and the top of the seemingly forming balls looks kinda like an ants head, with pincers on it :D

Dont pull it too early until you know for sure. To me the male preflowers look like tiny watermelons. You usually have about 2 weeks after they form until they start opening and release pollen

Thanks for the condolances jjbt420, but actually so far they are almost all female. Except these 2 and maybe 2 others I am watching. I have a few plants.
