From what I can tell it looks like a male because I think I see a bush of bristles. But it may just be something else in the picture, but other wise it's probably a male.
 
I agree MALE... Female BN plecos have no bristles around/on their nose where as the males do
 
It is hard to tell, but I believe it is male. Some female bristlenose plecos can have bristles, but they are way smaller and centered around the lip of the pleco. I can't tell from the picture if it goes any higher than the lip, but the bristles look rather large for a female. 95% sure it's a male...
