I'm not very good on Gt but from my understanding females have more blue on the face so that'd make yours a male

I've just gone through sexing mine GT's and I would agree fwprawn and say that was a female due to the lack of an elongated dorsal and no prominent nuchal hump. A side shot would help to confirm though. Either way nice looking fish
 
Thanks guys I'll still prob get it I was
Hoping for a male, they are hard to come by this size in my area

I've had good luck sexing GTs based on the pointed or rounded dorsal fin. Hard to tell based on the angle of this pic, but id guess female.
 
6 to 7 inch is sexable for GT. It looks like a male to me from the bright color, also, it takes a very long time for a female to hit 6 to 7 inch.
 
I would guess male. Any females I've had over 4-5" are laying eggs.
