Got her (him?) at petco. Not too sure on the sex but he/she is marked as a female.

It looks like a male to me.
Easy test with the pale bodied betta, hold light behind cup and look for yellow egg sack, female below egg sack outlined:

Btw that one has the marble gene-the white/flush tone/clear areas will be taken over mostly by red and some black with time.

For me it's always yard to tell without seeing a flare. Females tend to be shorter and thicker in body and males tend to be longer and skinnier. You can also look for a 'white tube' poking out on the underside which is the egg deposit tube. Its always possible the fish is a male and is too young to tell as well.
My best guess is female :)
