You cannot ventral sex freshly molted tarantulas as it's way too tricky to do so as male patches are barely if not visible when freshly molted. Which many people mistake males as females because of this. You're going to need to wait a few days for it to properly harden up from its recent molt to take a guess then.
I strongly believe that it is a female. With my males of this specie a white dot is very visible even right after a molt. Also it’s furrow is very wide, curved and there is a prominent slit which leads me to believe its a female. I have 6 p. Metallica’s that I have kept from slings all the way to adults and I am almost certain that you have a female.
