It was given to me as a Thai Tiger that is C. paganus or H. longipendum ahh whatever here it is another angry theraphosid. Also of not was that they called it a red/sunset phase whatever that means anyone ever heard of color variants in this species?

Looks to be either Haplopelma sp. "longipedum" or Haplopelma sp. "Vietnam." If you want to know for sure, send a molt off for identification.
As for Cyriopagopus paganus, nobody really knows what it is as the original type specimen is missing. It *could* be the same as "longipedum," but for now there's no way to know.

No.
Please at least have a think before making wild stabs in the dark.

Orion, it will not really be possible to make a positive identification from a picture. Certainly, sp."longipedum" sp."vietnam" and albostriatum could all be contenders. How big is it? Looks like a juvenile from the pictures.

As for "Sunset phase", sounds like somebody is getting overly creative with their common names. ;)
