    Not really weird. Sexing from a photo is somewhat subjective, and your photo is not the best angle. Some people are better than others as well, and if it's a radix I'd usually consider Steve's opinion to be one of the most reliable.
    To be more certain post a picture with a straighter tail, and also one of the head.
