Heteropoda davidbowie male or female?

[makskovsky]

My h. davidbowie moulted about a week ago. It was its 8 or 9 moult. Is it possible now to tell whether it's a male or female? I can do a better picture if needed

Looks like a mature male to me. The palps are clearly modified and you can see the spur on the side of the palp. See pages 284-288 of the 2008 revision:
