Is this a female A. Cacatuoides 'Orange'?

Hi all.
Hoping for some help confirming this fish is female and not a sneaky male.

It certainly looks like a female, but then so does a sneaker male! Can't say for 100% from appearance, but mostly you have to watch the behavior to spot a sneaker male from a female.

What makes you think that it could be a hiding male?

Behavior...the male chases 'her' away at every opportunity. He keeps her at one end of the tank.

I am not that sure but it does look like a female cichlid.
