I bought a young blue wagtail platy about 3 weeks ago, the pet shop owner said that the wagtail I was buying is female, but now I'm starting to think that my wagtail might actually be male, going by the anal fin being in a point.

I am going to upload a picture, could you all please confirm weather she is female, or male? Because I have separate tanks for male and female, but this wagtail has just totally confused me, and I could really appreciate the help. Thank you

Do you have a better pic? At the moment it's looking female to me as I don't see the 2 fins in front of the male part. If you can get a better pic that would be a great help!
 
He/she is very shy, I will try to get another picture now, one that is maybe more clear :)

Oh I didn't see the 2nd picture sorry! Still looking female to me. A side on pic would be great!

In those pics it looks male! I hate being a pain but we need to see the underside more lol! 
Image 2 in your first post would have been perfect if it was more a side shot!
I'm still saying female, see if you can get a side on pic like this

Where you can see the fins underneath. If I am wrong then I will go to specsavers :p 
 
I've been leaning male based on those four pics, but its tough to tell definitively from the pics given.
