Smithi or Hamorii?

[Isilwen]

I'm hoping to get an ID on this red-knee. It was sold to me as a smithi. I was adamant that I wanted a smithi and not a hamorii. The breeder assured me that it was a smithi.
When I got it back in February 2020, it was like a 3/4 inch sling. Now I think it's about 1 3/4 inches to 2 inches. I'm not good with measuring them. So, it may still be too young to tell.

Sorry about the state of the enclosure, I know it needs to be cleaned, but I have been dealing with gall bladder issues and haven't been able to get in there and clean it.

So, smithi or hamorii?

The main differences between smithi and hamorii are in the chelicerae, hamorii will have lighter color stripes vs smithi being a solid brown or black. There are also differences between coloration at the knees and carapace, but the chelicerae difference is the most difinitive.

Hamorii or Smithi?

Is this brachypelma hamorii or smithi or a hybrid? I'm 99% sure hamorii but it looks different enough from my other hamorii I figure I should ask before breeding an abomination
