It might be a bit too small yet to know for sure. I think it's right on the cusp of growing it's characteristics. The tail looks male, but the anal scutes are still looking female. I'll bet it's going to end up male.

It's a very beautiful Sulcata tortoise, anyway!

Thank you! I saw a bit of it's 'privates' when it was pooping but I've read both males/females will flash their business

Possibly too small to say for 100% certain, but my gut is telling me you have a boy there
