Male for sure. The spotting is a dead give away. Great color for such a small size.

Thanks guys. Got him from a lfs and was told he wa a F1 (think I got that right, parnets were wild caught). Had him in a divided tank with a smaller jack, and the jack somehow jumped the divider and they locked up a couple of times so if you look above his top lip its white from the scuffle. Hoping it heals ok.

Thanks again for the help and compliments.
