Bearded Dragon morphs are very different from bp morphs. There's only a handful of bearded dragon morphs that breed with simple genetics (translucent, hypo, dunner, leatherback/silkback, etc). These morphs are comparable to Ball python morphs. A hypo dragon is going to have 20 clear nails as an identifier. A trans dragon will have a trans underbelly and possibly solid black eyes. Silkbacks and leatherbacks have fairly self obvious markers.
The morphs people assign bearded dragon colors are not simple genetic morphs. I actually dislike the terms citrus, blood, sandfire (unless purchased directly from the Sandfire Dragon Ranch), etc because they don't really mean anything and people's opinions on what qualifies as one varies. I've seen many great looking citrus but I've also seen even more dragons that look nothing like a citrus being claimed as such... who's to contradict the seller? If you found a dragon off craigslist that was a deeper red than any blood dragon you've seen, can you label it a blood even though the seller didn't?
Bearded Dragon color passes in a similar manner to human's hair and eye color. To improve your chance of getting the brightest red or yellow babies, go with a breeder that has the dragon coloring you like. Don't focus on the "morph" color names because they don't follow simple genetics. A few breeders who have been around for many years have selectively bred their own color line but it will become muddled once you breed it to an outside line. Just as many breeders slap a morph name on their color line which was just started yesterday... a line here one season and gone the next.
Your's definitely looks female but if you want to be positive, hold her flat in your hand, raise the tail almost 90 degrees and slightly twist it back and forth. That should prominently display her bulge.
Those dragons you selected are both really nice looking and either should do well with yours. If you have any more bearded dragon questions, please always feel free to shoot me an email. I enjoy talking dragons anytime.
