G. pulchripes: Are those Spermathecae I see?

2.5" DLS G. pulchripes. I think I may be getting better at this. I am calling female because I believe that faint outline and two darker dots would indicate so. Feedback on my assessment please. Thank you.
110% female
I messed with the zoom and colors a bit to help you (and others) see. Them there are spermatheca :)
 
Thanks for sharing this. I am trying to find as many examples as possible to better learn it.
 
@EulersK This is what I was thinking, but was not for sure. The red line helps. Thanks for taking the time to do this for me. I'm sure that if I waited until they were a bit larger, I wouldn't have to spend as much time analyzing them. On a side note, not a bad picture from an old 2004 point-and-shoot Nikon.
