Actually, it's quite easy to tell this is not Avicularia purpurea. Yes, lots of Avicularia are Identical at this stage but purpurea have a unique sling appearance. The abdominal colors are black and white/grey with a slightly different pattern than others. I can't really see much of the abdomen in the photo but the dead giveaway is the legs... Avicularia purpurea legs are all black never beige/pink/tan with black toes. That's a characteristic of many Avicularia species but not purpurea. This is one of the Avicularia species that is impossible to ID with any certainty until adult colors.
I saw a post not too long ago with a similar looking sling sold as purpurea which it was clearly not. Did you get this from backwater?
