Which Brachypelma is this?
Infact. Scrap that. It looks more like epicureanum than the others due to mirror patch. Though their setae is usually much lighter. The lighting theough me right off it
 
I find Brachypelma to be a bit confusing at best anyways, largely because their classification hasn't been quite sellted yet. It's been proposed that the red-rumps should be in a separate genius, reserving Brachypelma to the "Red-knees". So, technically, some people might say that this isn't a Brachypelma at all.
 
@atraxrobustus yeah that's why I put it up. There is a ton of confusion. I do know it's different than any I have had. The gray is bold compared to others I have had. And under good light I just noticed the carapace is more of a shade of gray than black. Thanks lot though.
 
@John Hare Now that I think of it, it could be Sericopelma (which have more grey as opposed to blacks) as opposed to a Brachypelma two species of Brachypelmas were moved to Sericopelma recently.
