Yay!!! We've got a Winner! "Ding Ding Ding!" Nice lil guy! I've had some nice Mayans back in Da Dayz. I was fooled when I bought them when I was young, now I dream of fishing in FL canals to catch some!

A none angled, strictly side view pic would have probably helped with responses.
Most female Central Ameican cichlids have a dark area in the dorsal, but if alone that mark can be obscured, and sometimes doesn't become apparent until maturity sets in.
Profile shape of the head is also a helpful indicator.
Both these traits are not obvious to me in the photo, and I imagine most people would be hesitant to make a judgement without seeing them, unless sure.
I can't tell by the pic, and I've had mated pairs, and snorkeled with uropthalmus in Mexico.
An obvious example of the mark in the dorsal below in C nanoluteus
or in beani
but can be less apparent, take the female cutteri below, here to me, her profile might be a better indicator
as in this female H carpintus
but at maturity, the same carpintus, female on the left
