Ephebopus murinus male?

Ephebopus murinus male?

This is with flash and the only photo which turned out in focus. >_>
NOT the same T whose exuvium I just posted!!!
I'm thinking male, but I'm very new at this.
@KezyGLA My first attempt at determination by molt did not go well. :( See the the exuvium from this one's sibling. I should have an ideal opportunity when my B. smithi molts as mine doesn't believe in hides much less excess webbing, lol!

With my three E. murinus slings, I'm hoping we should be able to tell once I have photos of all three (two are currently in various phases of the molt processes and I don't want to disturb at present) as most likely they won't all be the same sex.

I was thinking male because of that dark circle, but then it kind of looks like a pouch there or I am seeing things. :confused:
 
the epi plate seems female with the spacing of the top lungs and its quite light. The dark spot is confusing me and making me think a bit towards male though I can see lips forming. I am stumped with this one I am sorry aha
 
@KezyGLA Thank you for the input! I will try to get photos of the siblings soon and hopefully that will make it more clear.
