Markings on the lower gill plate usually indicate female. Yours looks female to me.

I would have to say Male.

Females have a lot of splotches on the gill plates yours seems to have some spotting but it's body shape is not typical of a female. Females tend to have lighter coloration almost olive color and are more ovular shape whereas males are taller and more blunt in shape and have darker more pronounced colors.
