Any offers on if this is male or female?
I have my view but as this can be very difficult I wanted to see what people on here think?

They’re difficult at the best of times, impossible from those pictures.
 
need a clear picture showing the fish from the side

females get a pink belly when in breeding condition
 
That's a young fish from a bad angle, from a species notorious for crossing up people who try to sex tham at that age.

Tell me about it! The poor thing is on its own and ideally I'd want to try and pair it up

If you want a breeding pair of ram cichlids, get 8-10 young fish and grow them up together. Let them choose their partners and then move the prs into their own tanks. Keep the other fish in case the pr/s don't work out and then you can put them back in the main group and let them try a new partner.
 
I also believe it's a young specimen. It looks female but young males look like females. So, you should give it time to see what exact sex it is.
 
I’d say probably female. Can you get a picture from the side rather than above the fish?
 
Nor sure what you mean? The top two pictures are both from the side?
 
I meant from the side and level with the fish?
