I was hoping these images would be clearer! Lets see what we can get. I might have to get some better photos.

To me I can identify at least 2 to be just about for sure males, but the other two I am not sure becuase they do have bristles, but they could be female.

Anything with bristles "up the nose" is a male - that is, if there are bristles in the middle of the face (from top of mouth to between the eyes), it is a certain sign of a male. Females will have a a few bristles around the base of the head (around the mouth).

Thanks Matsp

I can examine them and get a good look at the bristles to see if they go up the nose.
