I think its a darker togo as well. I have a vietnam blue tarantula, its purple. Color can vary quite a bit.

That's very similar . Btw H. mac is short for Heteroscodra maculata(togo starburst baboon) to be clear for anyone trying to learn Latin names. Which I can't stress enough how important it is to use scientific names when possible . Although everyone here probably already knows all that.

Those picture are too blurry for me to comment im a total bro scientist. It's either that or the P. Chordatus. I thought I seen black eye marks on one picture which would make it P.chordatus.

After doing a fair bit of research into the differences of P.Murinus DCF (dark colour form) and being the owner of two P.Chordatus', I agree with @KezyGLA about P.chordatus. look at my previous post and compare the two photos to yours.
