A few of the male RES in my aquarium looked a lot like the pictures I posted, it wasn't apparent until the days started getting longer this spring and they sexually matured that they were male. The only clue was the larger red/orange area on the ear tab which became more red as they matured. Based on the size of the ear tab, the thicker orange margin, this one might be an immature male.

Here is a picture of the other side.
