Is this a male?
Yes, this must be a male, because according to Covell, the females are wingless.

We edited you post
by clicking the box at the bottom for male. Should we do that with your other recent Orgyia?

Orgyia
Covell states that the females are wingless in both Orgyia antiqua and Orgyia leucostigma, so that would make my pictures of these species males too.

Thank you for editing these for me.

No problem, done.
But we probably should point out that you can edit them as easily. Just click on edit when you are on the image and scroll down to the boxes that let you click male!
