I cant really tell. Do you have a full on side view? Im looking for the shape of the belly, and also the shape of the fin on the underbelly.
If its female it probably is pregnant. 
 
>>> If its female it probably is pregnant.
 
Probably true. The angle the pictures are taken from hides a lot.
 
How does the anal fin of this fish compare with the pics I posted in the other topic you started?

If you have a female in with your males, she's most likely pregnant..
 
 
 
That is a female fish but looking at her closely her scales appear to be raised which is an indication of dropsy, I have never really been successful in treating this so I won't go into treatments but if she has it most of the time it is fatal, I hope I am wrong.
