Haha what? That looks male to me and super red however, my profile pic is a female of similar size.

In true species of many Central American cichlids, females will normally show a dark area in the dorsal, a male will not, unless in spawning color.
With hybrids this is not always the case. FHs are a hybrid of trimaculatus, and something else
Note the dorsal coloration in the female trimaculatus below

now a pair withe male in front, note the lack of dark color in the dorsal

There is no dorsal spot on the female in the pair you posted.. The only way to accurately sex the flower horn in the pic that the OP posted is by venting.
