Sexing Curlyhair (specific unknown, no molt)

if this pic isn’t good enough let me know and i will get better ones, i did my best. also willing to just wait for a molt but i wanted to see if anyone has any insight. no worries if not.
This is most certainly a male. That little arch of dark hairs right in the center of the frame are the epiandrous fusillae, which are used by males for reproduction.
