You need a clearer picture, as well as a picture of either the underside or the spermathecae (or lack thereof) in an exuvia/molt

IMO yes. Mature males won't have 2 orange toes in the front, the pelipalps would be black.
I have an MM avic.

Do juvenile male Avics still have black pedipalps and no orange tips? Or just mature? If so, couldn’t this also just be not mature? I have a sub adult female Avic

Only have all black tips on the palps when matured.
So the only thing you can say for absololute certainty is that it is not a mature male (yet).

I say yet as the pitoyou shared cannot be used for sexing. You need a clear pic of the underside of the spider and specifically the 2 set of book lungs and the area between the top set of book lungs.
