I think it's a female.

I was thinking female with a slight hump.

Body shape and the stress marks a bit of a give away. You could always vent it to be sure.

Another vote for female.

I think its a female because of the small dark patch on the dorsal fin. Ive heard 90% of the time when that is present its a female.
