Female sword or variatus. Everybody is getting a bit caught up on the tail. It's not that small - it's just banded (incompletely marked). Sometimes called partial wagtail but this is in black, not red. I've kept fish with this marking and I can possibly get a photo.
I marked the edge of the tail on the original photo. If you don't believe me zoom in on it in a decent image editing program.

I also would like to add that this platy or swordtail has a goivd spot like a female but the bottom fin of a male
 . this fish has been chasing all the female in the tank and can't get a break from it (him/he), but other males chase it (him/he) too!!!

Then your platy are Variatus platy as the variatus males are known carried false gravid spot. I have some male Variatus has gravid spots too, doesn't mean they are half male, half female.

Now im confused by what you said. You said you have males and now you don't have any males? Are you sure that fry come from your fish in the picture? It could from other females. What fish in your tank?
