100% male

I will take your word, but can you explain what I am missing. I thought the mustard coloring was a dead giveaway? I am not seeing any blue in the fins.
 
looks male to me, but need better pics to be 100% sure.
it seems to have dots running down the length of the body, below and above the bold lateral line, which makes me believe it's a male. my male doesn't have a whole lotta blue in it's fins either
 
male as it has the little dots past the horizontal line (on the top half of the fish). females can get dots on thier bellies but normaly not past the line.
these are not mine i stole them off the net but maybe it will help.
look above the thick black line that runs down the fish.

I saw this 5 inch dovii in the lfs store and I think she is a she. Is she? I hope, because my big boy dovii might get a lady for a try if she is. Sorry for the pics, she won't hold still.

I'm not sure but let's see some more pics of that JD he looks huge!
 
looks like male too...alot of spots/dots...i believe to be male...also could be a costa rican male dovii...that might explain less blue or just a very low grade male nic. dovii...but i don't believe in low grades for a pure specie..only if its a hybrid of some sort...keep it cause its still a dovii with no mix. :)
 
there looks like there's a huuuge jag in bg of the second pic and the face of that jd is kinda scary..
