Boy or Girl?

I'm looking at this birth record and I can't tell whether the child's name is "Joseph Anton" or "Josepha Antonia". The record is in Latin.

Thanks!

The child is a boy. His name as written is Josephus Antonius. The symbol that looks like a "g" at the end of both names is actually a scribal device which represents the letters "us". Also the child is identified as "filius leg[itimus]" = legimate son.

His name would be Joseph Anton.
