yep Female.
males get a yellow strip from head to tail across the top of them.
and they also get a blue head.

venustus x spilorhynchus!

see the diagonal line running from the tail to the shoulder.
the other give away is the spot under the eye, Champsochromis spilorhynchus is the only malawi with this feature.
