Nice looking flowerhorn. Rarely males will have a flower mark on their top fin. Body looks male. If its a female then you hit the jackpot.
I have a female with a similar sized Kok. "It must be a male to carry on the Kings name". Hahahahahahaha!
The dorsal says female. Her laying eggs would be the best indication.

Yea everytime In my experience if there is a dorsal blotch it is a female. 9 out of 10 times. If it's a female you are lucky if you want to breed her. I will buy it off you lol. Why do you want a male so bad?
Yes you're correct! I mentioned this but the main reason why people want only males other than breeding projects is the infamous kok. My female has a big kok for her size and age as well but this flowerhorn looks male.
I may be wrong but I would lean towards male even with the dorsal black spot. I literally just went to a shop that had two rows of Flowerhorn males and all the papilla looked like that. All my males look like that as well.
The thing is pictures don't do it justice you have to see it in person to tell.
This is not entirely correct. The best indication would be laying eggs but I have females who never laid eggs before until a male was present. They absorb the eggs and don't lay it.
There was a post here recently a guy posted up a picture of a fish and had the dorsal black spot but it was a male! Looked very similar to yours.
Anyways male or female doesn't matter has a nice kok its beautiful and just enjoy it.
