Answer
Dear Tara,
thank you for your question.
Here's a website that has excellent pictures and info on sexing parakeets (and good general info on parakeets):

Male pied parakeets sometimes look a lot like females, though, and it's hard to sex them. Can you get a good picture of your bird's beak and nose? I can give it a try then, but I cannot promise that i can give a definite answer.
I hope I was of some help to you
