Help with identifying species

[ChipEnthusiast]

Hi, I'm new to tarantulas. I've been keeping reptiles for a long time, but I've only recently got a tarantula. I have basic knowledge, but I lack experience. I got my T as a Grammostola pulchripes, however after some research it looks to me more like an Acanthoscurria geniculata. The source is not reliable enough to ease my suspicions, and labelling mistakes are possible. What do you guys think? Am I overthinking this? Thanks in advance!

That is 100% an A. geniculata.
I had the exact opposite happen to me. I had a G.pulchripes given to me as an A.geniculata.

Thanks for the help to you both! Interesting how those species get confused, but good to know I was right to doubt the source.
