Unknown tarantula from Sri Lanka

Hello, I'm admin of iGoTerra. This is a pic of a tarantula taken in Sri Lanka by one of our members. Does anyone would know its ID? Thank you for your help. Cheers

Never seen any Theraphosidae like this before. I would awing a guess at something along the lines of undescribed Thrigmopoeus or Monocentropus possibly.
 
My best guess would be that its from the Chilobrachys genus. It has the typical morphology of a mature male Chilobrachys with those lighter colored metatarsi.
 
I was with Creepa on the Chilobrachys for a few minutes, now I'm thinking he looks like a Heterophrictus or Neoheterophrictus. He's beautiful either way.
