Looking for ID on two species.

Hi everyone I've been trying to get confirmation on two different tarantulas and haven't had a lot of success. Hopefully, someone can give me a positive ID. I have my thoughts but I would rather not share them to bias someone's opinion. I"m not that great at ID so I would rather rely ln people with more experience. Thanks,

Doing my daily check around, I realised there is a slightly better option than Aphonopelma seemanni. Grammostola pulchripes, as it's slightly more "fuzzy."

The first one I thought Lasiodora parahybana with the little stripe at the legs, but I miss some reds with the hairs. Mine have a bit red. Very light at the end off the hairs. So not sure if it's correct.

The second looks like a G.pulchripes.
If the coloring on the legs is yellow, it's a G.pulchripes. If it's more blend and towards white a A.seemani.
i have them side by side and than it's easy to see

Yeah second one seemed to me to be a G. pulchripes although sometimes the yellow stripe colors don’t always come through in pictures. Also to me the Chaco Golden knee can have a reddish tinged hairs on its abdomen especially towards the back.
