No, the spot is on the dorsal. *My female escondido had no black spot, so if nothing is there, that doesn't necessarily mean it is male. It's accurate most of the time though.

Here's a 6 month old shot of my female carpintis "Escondido", where the black in the dorsal is visible. I honestly don't know if the blotch is still there when they're in breeding dress, as yours is.
