Image 1 is the suspected offset/sucker. It has the vague appearance of a sago flush. However it is about a foot away from the parent in the ground.

Image 2 is the parent. Roughly 50 years old with 2 heads! It is male and coned last year, with a flush this year.

Image 3 is a confirmed sucker that unfortunately died before I could protentialy take it off and root it.

Could image 1 be a far-out sucker by any chance? It’s not a seedling because the plant is male and there aren’t any females nearby. And if not, could someone please ID it?

Thanks you guys!

Also note what seems to be a dead brown stem sticking up to the right of the suspect offshoot.

It looks like you may have missed the previous leaf's flush.  I think you have answered the question if the main plant is male then the most likely scenario is that this is a subterranean offset.  If you plan on removing the pup, let it get some size before doing so.  Patience is rewarded.

What a wonderful plant. Also for me it's a subterranean offset. My cycas revoluta female made a pup near the trunk (10 cm next the trunk). I removed it the last month.

These are photos of my cycas revoluta female without pups and my cycas revoluta male with pups.
