Male.
Reason: both male and female bushynose pleco have these protrusions. On a male, they are more pronounced, and grow from most of its head..like yours. On a female, the protrusions are smaller and only around the front of the mouth.

I think male as well. I had a female and she didn't have bristles like that.
