Here is a pic of my old male Greshakei

Unfortunately, I have no pics of the females, but they looked very much like your fish.

Eggspots don't mean much. In some species, such as M. lombardoi, males should be the only gender with an eggspot or eggspots and that can be seen in qiality tankraised specimens of the species but in most species, tankraised or from the lake itself - females can have eggspots.
One of my female Labeo. fuelleborni WC from Chinyankwazi Island has 5 eggspots on her anal fin. Most or all of the females have eggspots.
The big dominant male of the group has two.

That is really good to know, thanks.

That is amazing! I need to get a beautiful male like that for mine.
 
i noticed on my mbuna that often the male has a bright big eggspot/spots, and the female will have the "false" eggspots, duller, smaller, and fewer of them.
 
When it comes to egg spots ignore them. If the speceies have color differences ie are Dimorphic, then you can often tell the difference even though that maybe difficult as well. If they are Monomorphic do as follows for sure. I say the best answer is to vent and learn to do it. Buy a jeweler's eye piece. You can pick them up at flea markets for a few bucks.
