Light carapace....

What about the square white patch around the eyes of the T in the bottom pic? That patch (part of carapace pattern) is not present in the top pic.

Did one not change to Poecilotheria bara?

That's not the proper name for it anymore (I don't believe)

Heres @KezyGLA female highland.
I've seen highlands with and without the white patch by the eyes.

Leave it to Kezy to steal the show! @Arachnoclown , nice to see you once in awhile. I figured, you and Kezy are too smart for us. Nice to feel the love from you from time to time. I miss you man!

According to the WSC the two are synonymous there needs to be more DNA work to prove they are different or divergent species. So for now it P. subfusca HL and LL
Two comparison pics I saved from another post

After seeing @sdsnybny pictures...which were way better then what I have, I'd say both of yours are lowlands.

 

[sdsnybny]

both look like the lowland

Thank you

so the best ID is the abdomen markings/pattern and something I had seen before that the darker section in the middle of the pattern appears more 'washed out' in the HL (Subfusca)

 

[poee]

Actually it's easy you just need to translate the name subfusca - sub (below) / fuscus (dark) and you have the answer....
