Given to me as an adult female P. regalis

I got 'her' as a freebee and the seller told me she was an adult P. regalis, although apperant now that 'she' is not. She does not have the yellow stripes on her front legs nor does she have the white marking ventrally.
What is she?
Dorsally it does look like regalis, but if it appears ventrally as you say it does, it cannot be. Could you get a shot from directly above? The carapace markings sure look like regalis, moreso than pederseni, which I suppose it could be. Also, the leg markings don't appear consistant with what one would expect to see in formosa to me.
 
Well, nothing really ;). I drove to this girl who was selling a couple of her animals because she was going to move, so I drove to pick-up an B. albopilosum w/ terrarium. When I got there I payed for it and hung around to small-talk about T's when she asked me if I wanted the pokie w/ terrarium for free. I was kind of shocked, and took it even though I had only kept T's for a couple of months.
So we small-talked some more and she just kept offering me animals with enclosures for free including scorps (3x P. imperator), cornsnakes (1.1) etc.
At the time I was only interested in keeping T's so I just took the albo and the pokie. Now I kind of regret not taking the scorps ;). Ah well, pretty decent freebie anyhow :D.
 
decent freebie? lol... id say thats a once in a life time deal. you bought a freakin curly hair, and got a POKIE with a terrarium for free.... i could maybe believe it if it was THE OTHER WAY AROUND.... some people got all the luck.
