Trapdoor Spider

I bought this fella over the weekend labeled "Gray trapdoor". I've been studying and studying, but can't figure out the species.....any ideas?

Not sure which species this is but it reminds me of the Seqocrypta jakara (Brisbane Brushfooted Trapdoor).

I thought the same....but the info on the site I was on said 24 millimeters in size for a female, less for a male....mine is about 2 inches and sold as a juvenile

Actually, the female can grow to just under 1 1/2 inches (1.3 or 1.4).
However, if your guy/gal is at 2", and a juvenile, I agree in that it would seem unlikely that this is a Seqocrypta jakara.
The quest continues.

It could be full grown....the woman I bought it from really didn't say....i guess I just assumed....All the others she had were slings. It was labeled "Gray trapdoor" (captivity)

Identification could prove quite difficult... or is rather difficult. It is a shame that the seller didn't state anything, with re. to identification, beyond "gray".
My only other thought, at the moment, is that it could be a Cyphonisia sp. "(?)".

Wish I could be of assistance on identifying, but have no experience with them. Congrats on the new addition though! A trap door is definitely on my wishlist.
