The best way to get an accurate answer would to take a picture from above, looking down on the fish. Female Corys are wider bodied and heavier set than the more slender males. It doesn't always show from the side, and they look young.

If there are eggs, they're telling you you're doing things right!
 
The difference between male and female has already been given by Gary. But females will also lay eggs when there are no males around.
