I think its a female because of the splotched gill plates, and the majority of its scales being on its head. He thinks its a male because of the pointed fin and the tail. Please leave your opinion
 
Your friend is right, it is a male. He has white sparkling in his face, females have blue sparkling..
 
it's a female.

males have speckling on the gill plate that does not extend horizontally past the eye.
