I at first thought this was a female because it was trying to breed with my male hrp now I am not so sure, what do you think? here is a few pics. thanks

What are you guys going by to determine female? I'm not a Carpinte expert by any means but I have a juvie and am curious. The blotch in the dorsal method is not always accurate. I think the pics above look male.
 
looks to be a female but if in time a hump comes you have a male
 
Need to see what is hanging down to really tell, everything else is just a guess
 
thanks for the responses, I thought it was male at first but boy if its male he really likes my male HRP alot. I just hope he gets out of his breeding colors soon tired of looking at the black on him.
