I would say thats a male. I have seen big males without the 'hump'. Usually females have rounded rather then pointy dorsal and anal fins.

I'd be tempted to say male too, I don't know how to sex them, but basing it on that they are acaras (sort of) and brown acaras females have rounded finnage compared to the trailing finnage of males.
