What sex from tail photos

Wondering if anyone will offer an opinion on the sex of this corn based on these photos. This is a 2.5 year old butter corn. It is going to be probed before the end of the month, but just wanted to get an opinion in advance.

thanks,

mary v.

Tough to tell (the top one looks more female, but the bottom pic looks like a possible male!). All in all, I'd say female, though.

Let us know how it turns out, please.

Thanks Darin,
I know how inaccurate any tail exam is and will confirm what this one probes to be. It was sold to me as a male, but as it matured this winter my impression was that the tail was a bit 'girly'. Either way, it is a pretty butter and I appreciate your response. Here is a face shot - a bit prettier than the tail.

Talking I would have to say male

But then again with the pictures in question it is hard to see rather well

I agree...

I think the tail looks too long to be a female. I vote male!

Thanks for the input everyone and I hope you are all correct. It was supposed to be a male, but I didn't confirm whether it was sexed by popping or probing and I have bought individuals before that turned out wrong once they matured. I wanted a male, but like him either way. I will have him probed by a friend later this week and let you know if it was right.
