Help sexing Sakura shrimp

Hi,
I know there are lots of threads regarding sexing shrimp but I just want clarification on one of my yellow Sakuras. I thought it was a female (was sold as a female) but I have had her for about 6 weeks and she has not been berried and two of my other females have been.
I don't know if the photo is clear enough but it's abdomen does not extend over it's swimmerettes and I have seen no evidence of a saddle
If this is the case, then one of my blues who I have named Betty, may need to be renamed Basil!!! Which leaves me with three males and two females. Plus lots of babies of unknown gender!!
