It's more than likely mature, and if you notice in your picture, the pedipalps do not have boxing gloves like a male would have.  Another thing you may look at to see if it has is hooks.  Not all genus have hooks but in this case your Avic will have hooks if it was male.  Yours does not have any of these things, so I deduce female.</blockquote>
