Brachypelma Albopilosum

Leaning towards male, but I'm pretty inexperienced. If you dont mind, could you provide an explanation along with your conclusion so that I can know what to look for down the road? Thanks!
I'm also inexperienced and I find it a little hard to tell but I'm leaning towards female, purely based on info I've read on this type of sexing. Definitely do not take my word for it though (perhaps it is a little pointless me posting :D )
 
I agree. I believe it to be female. See, brachy females have these "mustache" hairs on their furrow that kinda look like epiandrous fusillae on a male. From what I see, I would 100% say female!! There doesn't appear to be a break in the slit- just an open "mouth" with a mustache covering it, lol....that's the best way I can describe it. :)
 
Male.

Dark area for fussilae, not much space between booklungs and looks as though there is a sligh white spot that may be sign of epigynum.

I am 80% sure as I am looking at phone screen here.

I would say wait for a moult but a B. Albo at that size you could be waiting a while ;)
 
After looking on my pc it looks 100% female.
There is no light spot and I can see the slit easily. And seeing the "mustache" comment Casey said reminded me how true this can be with Brachy Females especially after recent molt.
My Female B. Auratum recently moulted and has a very dark mustache and a light underside heheh.
Easily mistaken for male sometimes.
