I see no gravid spot.... and I may be mistaken, but I see a gonopodium which will make this a male platy..... nope!! ... Personally.... I do not think he is pregnant...

Only now that you mention it.... I notice the poop as well... above that poopstring... I see a gonopodium... It is not the rounded anal fin of a female Platy/livebearer.... I maintain that this fish is a male unless I can get a better photo of the anal fin.... But!... gravid spot??... I do not see it.

it also looks like a gonopodium to me

I seriously doubt that he is carrying any fry.

In this case, I might think that it doesn't actually have a gonopodium, but instead folded its fins (my swordtail female can look like this when she folds the fin too). I will take a picture some day to show what I mean.
In first pic the platy is also holding the top fin lowered so all fins are usually folded when they do that.

There's also a spot inside it and a round shape of the belly which also points towards female.
In second pic, the anal fin seems fanned out a bit too.

yes, your right, it was folding its fins, I can see a white ring, right below its anal area, telling me that it will probably drop soon: she has been pooping white slimmy poop, which is also a sighn she will drop soon Tell me if i'm right

White poop can also be a sign of Hexamita parasite though.
Doesn't look close to dropping, probably would have 3 more weeks to go, not even squared off but has a bit of a belly.
Can you get a pic of it with fanned out fins? (side view)
