Tliltocatl albopilosus molt

Unsure if male or female, any idea? 2.25" DLS
That looks like the outside of the molt. We need to see the same area, just from the inside.

This is 100% the inside of the molt, I untwisted and peeled apart a molt I soaked in water. The outside is extremely fuzzy.
 
Oops, I meant to have that in the title. 2.25 inch DLS.
Sorry, I fell asleep in the middle of our messages last night! Lol... I think this is a female, but I'm a little unsure because I would expect the spermathecae and flap to be more obvious at that size. For example, this one is hard to miss:
Check again next molt and hopefully it'll be easier to tell for sure.

Yeah I was having a hard time because it kinda looks a little bit female, but if the flap is there it's small. I have 2 juvenile T. albos that are 2 of 3 Ts I haven't sexed yet and the suspense is killing me. Most of my other Ts were decently easy to figure out at this size. Thanks for your help. :)
