Also is it a male?

IMO it loos like a female A. cacatuoides or female A. agassizii

Photos aren't really good enough for a positive ID.

I agree but I based my answer off what I could see.

I'd say it's a female of one of the line bred forms of A. agassizi, probably "double red".

Looks like a female cacatuoides or agassizi but could be a male or female panduro...

Yes, a female A. agassizii, probably a red domestic color strain.
