it's a female. males have a very distinct crest along their back

Looks like is crest is growing up, and the blue shining on the tail, seems to be a male...

i think male

The crest only shows up during breeding season. Male crested newts have more of a white stripe in their tail. Some females have a little white in their tail. I think it is a male and will crest up. Time will tell.

Male, for sure. No female has that dark cloaca and the clear beginnings of a crest.

thank you it have a small crest of 1-2 mm now

Enrico, its still too early to tell for sure. 50% chances to be both male and female. Only a few more 3 or 4 months can tell accurately. There are totally no visible marks or clues in the newt to validate it sex yet so you better wait. Seems me of a female, but who knows if its just a too early male...
Cheers,
