P. Metallica male?
No, based on this photo I would lean female for this one. The circular patch of epiandrous fusillae on my P. metallica was tan/yellow, lightly coloured and quite distinct. I don't really see a patch like that here. I would confirm with the next moult though, which will probably be soon enough based on the size of the abdomen.
