Nhandu chromatus

I'm thinking male, what do you think?
Really? The furrow is pretty wide but what made me lean towards male is the white "dot". Also the person who gave it to the shop said it's most likely male. If it really is female, I'll buy it. Thanks for the reply.
 
And what do you think about the white "dot"? I would have said female too, but the "dot" convinced me otherwise and also the fact that the previous owner thought it was a male. At that size, the spermatheca is easily visible and he must have seen it if there was one.
 
Thanks for the reply. I really was fooled by the different pigmentation and the fact that all my males had a patch of white colored hair when they were smaller (but at this size the white isn't visible any more). So I'll buy it.
 
Hello, just wanted to add some new information. I talked to the previous owner and he told me that he hadn't seen any spermatheca on one of the last molts. Also, I made several other pictures in which you could see a patch of dark hair forming an arc right above the furrow. I also talked to an experienced trader who also thought it was male but was just so "fat" that the shapes were bigger (wider furrow). That's why I didn't buy it. Actually, after I posted the new pictures, there were a lot more people who thought it was male. I'll confirm the sex after it molts in the shop, but for now it's looking male.
