Avicularia sp.

i was sold this as A. ulrichea but now that is considered nomen dubium so i'm hoping an avic expert can help ID this or at least point me in the right direction. I have a few more pictures i will upload but it might take a couple minutes...

No, what was once known as juruensis (prior to the revision) in the hobby are actually rufa. The type specimen for juruensis did not have those vivid yellow bands they were known for, nor are their leg IV 10% longer than leg I. Which can clearly be observed in hobby stock of (ex. juruensis) rufa. That difference in leg length is a characteristic of rufa, avicularia and hirschii.
