My guess would be male. Judging by the pointed fins and spotting pattern. In the females I've owned the dorsal and anal fins have been more rounded than my males, and less spotted too.
How big is your fish? Has it ever laid eggs? I'm guessing the answer to that is no, or you wouldn't have posted this thread. :) Females I've kept solitary have all laid eggs without a male present. Usually started doing this at about 6 inches.
I just got 2 new babies about 3" long 2 weeks ago. I think they are both female. We'll soon find out.
Male or female, nice fish ya got there.
 
I also belive that you have a male mainly cos the female i have she has a purple tinge on her side, and i also agree with Mang-man, but i love you jag and your little marbled pim i see hidding in the courner make great tank mates, mine just died :( got into a fight with a bigger catfish,
 
When I first saw it I was thinking female, but it is a puzzling one, not obvious by any means.
 
i say its a dude big bull head on him like mine the fins on jags are very simular so hard to tell which sex going by fin
