I don't doubt this is what it is. Is there a difference between male and female?

based on wing shape
I'd say probably a male. Female wings average a little "fuller". It helps to be able to see the abdomen clearly too (tips are differently shaped, and female abdomens usually less slender). However, the genders in this species are very similar.
