I have a sub-adult female, and her lady parts are very pronounced (the gonoslit curves between her book lungs which are more distanced from each other) already at 4", I notice on this specimen has a linear epigastric furrow, and above the furrow lay a darker region which is most likely developing fusillae. Have you taken a look at the opisthosoma's pattern right on the top? A male's markings will be much darker and will have a dark pattern in the middle of it, my female's markings are nearly non-existent and a light grey/white on the top of her abdomen. By the way what a stunning specimen, I can't say I've seen such prominent colours on another metallica!
