Sex of Apistogramma macmasteri

About two months ago, I bought what I was told was a male and a female Apistograma macmasteri. They look very different, and the one that I believe is a female has much rounder fins and is brighter in color. For the past few days, it has been occasionally chasing the male, and often fanning/hitting him with her tail. The male has been hiding for much of the day, and seldom leaves cover. Could this fish (pictured below) actually be a male, or is this some kind of breeding behavior?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hello Martin, though I am not sure if I am adressing the right person, I still hope I am. I got 2 trios of Apistogramma psammophila from you some time ago. I was lucky to breed them, too, but, unfortunately, I got mainly males, 15, and only 2 females. That's why today, I have only three males left.
Kind regards, Michael (Hagen-Hohenlimburg)
He recalled that General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm had praised these achievements, noting that institutions are no longer the main bottleneck to development, with challenges now lying in implementation.
Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.
