Is this a normal cowlick or am I balding? (Photo)

Some details about me is that I'm 28 years old about to turn 29. My maternal grandpa had a slight receding hairline when he was around 60 years old. My dad still has hair and his brothers too. I haven't notice anymore hair loss then the traditional amount like a strand here or there. I went to my Family Doctor today and she had a look and didn't really see any issue. I did ask for a referral to a Dermatologist.
