Hamorii and a very pretty one too my smithi has bright bands of orange down his legs and alot less fluff if you go into media on here and go into the Brachypelmas file you will be able to compare them for yourself and come to your own decision. Good luck.
Link below is a pretty good comparison against both (side by side).
Something else to potentially look at (not always a guarantee) is the chelicerae, with smithi the chelicerae are all black with just long tan accent hairs. The hamorii have way more tan in their base hairs
There is also a good reply in one of my photo links to some of my spermathecae pictures from moults that shows the difference anatomically between the 2 species which is far more accurate than just a visual assessment.
I will dig out that link and reply again
Thought I would share examples of carapace patterns from 4 of my AF B smithi (CITES). All pictures taken Jan 22. PS. I know this is not an accurate way to ID B smithi from B hamorii but the patterns are interesting nonetheless I think on each of these individuals.
