P. Regalis (3.5" DLS)

It looked more female than the male at the store. It just molted so its a little skinny.

Did I do good or did I pick an obvious male?

Edit: They are all the same tarantula and the bottom two are actually two different pictures, though they look EXTREMELY similar.
Female, My female regalis looked like that when it molted cause it was skinny and as soon as I fattened her up the epigastric furrow revealed itself and another molt onwards spermatheca. She's now 4.5-5 inches. I find male regalis of that size would have a very obvious epiandrous fusillae.
 
@bryverine The reason why I saw spermatheca in the molt so late was because she kept on eating it. But @ 4 inches it would look like this if male
