Been awhile but got my Striped knee

[GTarantula]

Not sure if male or female but I'm hoping for a female. Person who sold it at the show said Brazilian giant white knee...Which she totally isn't. Just a striped knee but still a very nice T. She's really shy but doesn't like to move either if I try to nudge her if she's in the way of me giving her water.

Enjoy your new T. I don't know if it's because of the flash, but it almost looks like a g. pulchripes in the photo.

Could be the flash. I couldn't really be sure which species of striped knee it is due to the person who sold it at the show was a moron. She couldn't even answer a few basic questions like...Which species is this? Just that its a striped knee. Well for 25 bucks I took her home really don't matter to me I had to save her!

More pics of Legion. I used a flashlight and no flash. I'm still thinking she's Aphonopelma seemanni and not Grammostola pulchripes but I could be wrong. If anyone can guess to which this is I'd be more than thankful.

A seemanni will have an orangish (light colored) ventral side.

best picture I can get. Really hard holding a camera with one hand and the spider in the other lol. But this is the ventral side

Hard to say because I'm no expert at all but that looks fairly orange to me!

Definitely looks too light to be a G pulchripes. I don't have A seemanni, so I'm no expert. This is the problem with common names. They are so confusing. If I had to guess, I would say A seemanni, but that's only a guess. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along and help.

Thank you all for your input. I'm hoping for a A seemanni. I also looked at photo's of A seemanni's online and there seems to be a few color phases. The gray threw me off as I know them to have more black. Another I've seen was a phase of blue. No idea really but I put her in the larger enclosure so she can dig around till I buy another piece for my rack system.
