I know males get bristles on face, this one doesn't but wasn't sure if it didn't have it because of age or sexual maturity, so I just thought I'd ask for opinions.

Females have some bristles on the lips, but if they are up the center of the head toward the eyes it is male. Impossible to tell with the photo provided
