You mean Caudel fin......?
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.
 
So what do you think of this one? This is a female, right?

Pics are old, but same fish none the less.

Here it was trying to get with my male FH too.

The black blotch holds true for ~90% of females.

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.
