It is a good pic. I'd personally like one closer to the node in question. Can you use the macro function of your camera and get one closer?
I'm not certain what exactly it IS, but I do not believe it is female. Don't hold me to that till you can provide me a closer (and still clear) pic of the node.
From what I see, it looks like balls. Not a mix. And I don't see any stigmas; only new leaf growth.
Is this your only plant? Is this the first to show sex of all the plants you have? If it is one/the first to show sex, again, very likely to be male.
