Hello hlb118,
This is not T. blondi :).
This is T. apophysis or spec "burgundy"
How can you tell that is is an undescribed Theraphosa spp. from any of the others from the picture of a sling? I'm skeptical and equally curious. Until something is published saying that the "pink-footed" blondi are a distinct species or sub-species, you probably should take what you hear tossed around this site by other hobbyists with a grain of salt. Legitimate taxonomy is a headache in and of itself without word of mouth and rumors.

blondis dont have distinct white feet, apophysis do and blondis dont have spurs apophysis do, and the third undescribed species has pink feet like the apophysis but dont have spurs like the blondi so there is the Qs
