It usually just takes a glance if you know what you are looking for.

i was assuming it was a male from the pics beings that it didn't seem to have much lower finnage

I think it's a male because of the large size of the dorsal fin.......

Can you also look at the anal fin? The anal fin is the fin where their "opening(anus)" lies, where they poop. If the anal fin is a flat triangle, it's a female. If the anal fin is pointed, it's a male.

Good luck!
