I'm bad at sexing, but I would say male. Here is my N chromatus that molted Friday, for the first time since I've had it. It was sold as a male, but looking at the molt I'd say I now have 2 females, instead of a pair. Don't know what the one you're showing is, but look at the difference.

The second one looks definitely like a female

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,I had a Phormictopus Cancerides turn male really live that T now he won't have the longevity I hoped for. I sex my T's small,used to sex them only at a later stage. Helps me just get over the pain,quick.

Just remember the spermathecae are see through and hard to see when the spider is not mature. They only darken as the spider matures, so yours could still be a female, but obviously wouldn't be dark yet at that size

I hope so because I've brought all my T's up from slings and it seems draining when all you get is males is a male more common or is it literally 50 50
