Need Help Sexing a Red Texas Hybrid Cichlid

[silverrhino8]

Hi Everyone,

I have this Red Texas cichlid (Blood Parrot x Texas) and I can't tell if it's female or male. It's 7 inches in size and no nuchal hump. So I'm pretty certain it must be female but thought I'd post here and ask around anyway.

Personally I would say it's a female just due to the egg tube being partially visible.

Looks strongly female to me too.
1. Center of gravity is below a line from the mouth to the center of the tail
2. ovipositor is out
3. head profile is more angled.
