Brachy molted last night

Probably a 5th instar B smithi(?)

The image is a bit grainy and the edges of the molt are curled up which mostly blocks the anterior book lungs, but this appears to be a female to me.

Anybody want to confirm or dissent?

OK, so it turned out that the spider above was a female B.emilia. I traded her for a smithi and did my best to sex at the store externally. Now I have a molt. Did I manage to get another female? The EF is obvious, but I don't see spermatheca. This spider is now ~3" DLS.
