Not the best pics...

But looks like a female.
Maybe even already gravid.

Yes, you should resize the photos so they fit on the screen, but it does look like a female and possibly gravid. Thing is you can't go just by looks. I have seen these get much fatter than that and turn out to be just carrying such a heavy parasite load that they are that bloated.

I would have a fecal done to check for parasites and go from there. If she is gravid you will be seeing lumps in her sides pretty soon.
