That is a male, 10000000000000000000000000%. I dont gamble but Id bet the ranch on that one
Do you notice where the vent/butthole is? See how the tail comes more straight out from the vent rather than coming out slightly above the vent like in the picture in question that is a female? I know, you can go through thread after thread with people sexing them correctly and still not be confident in your thought. Pictures can be decieving sometimes even with experience. Ive only hatched out 6 clutches of pardalis so I am by far no expert. I will say though, after comparing my first clutch in person, its really easy to sex them. Some will fool you, especially around the 2 to 3 month mark, like the female pictured in the original post that has somewhat of a broader tail. Some females will actually start showing nicer colors than the males. The rule is not to go off color but the tail base. Although, males tend to have a grey background with dark bars just like yours while females will already start showing the blue/purple spots on the cheeks and some will even show that green hue, sherbert type colors etc.
Point being, you just need to get an eye for sexing them. The tail is what you want to first look at in panthers and if unsure you can maybe get a better idea off color.
