My impression from the full size version is that it is a boy!
The reason i say girl is because look again just under the arm and you will see another set of ahem what you may be calling nuts.

Excellent picture. Agree with loosing the leaf. Also theres something under the food ball, a white line perhaps part of the food which i find distracting as well.
