the shapes of the head and the body remind me that it is a female
though the odontodes may suggest that it is a male; anyhow, i would bet it is a female!!

Do you have a overhead photo?
Be nice to see the pelvic fins and head shot from overhead.

What a difference a different view makes
View from above show broad head and thick (as well as 'hairy') first ray to pelvic fins. Could be a young male
