Dorsal looks male with the dark shade so I’m very confused!

I think that looks more female I’m sure there is a difference in the dark shade around the eyes that makes them sexually dimorphic, females having more and covering more eyes if you can see what I mean where as the males will have a sharper angle on the darkness coming through the eyes, I’m definitely no expert but have had a few P Regalis you will definitely be able to tell a difference in the next couple of moults as the Male gets very washed out and dull and you will hardly notice the markings

I'd say it looks female dorsally but I am going off of the abdominal stripe. Males usually have a more prominent stripe than females....females stripes/pattern are broad and not as dark. Poecies are a bit more difficult to sex for me, ventrally but if they are at least 3+" you can go off of their dorsal pattern. I could be wrong. I make mistakes, too, lol. Sure fire way of telling is to check the molt!

So everything points towards female. So looks like it is infact female, only sure way to tell is with a moult or maturity.
