Tough to tell - below are three pics from my definite female (didn't know at the time) from 2 years ago and the last one taken today. Hope this helps a little.

One of the best ways to tell gender of any Parachromis (or close cousin) is to look at the slopes of the profile.
Males have steeper profiles with a slight hump if dominant, females have a more torpedo shape.
The angle of your photo does not show those differences clearly.
Here is a couple examples.
female N tetracanthus

now male, note the higher profile

now an even closer cousin
P motaguense
female

male

Still not sure about mine. I'm leaning toward female

OP, from your lastest 3 pics, it looks female to me, besides having a more torpedo shaped profile than most males, the lack of spotting on the lower jaw and gill plate tend to be female traits.
