Aphonopelma eutylenum "Post Molt" - Female

Gorgeous T! :happy: It is amazing how different some T’s can look before and after molts! I have an unidentified smaller Aphonopelma from New Mexico (maybe A. gabeli ?) and she was a nearly uniform gray until her latest molt; now she is blonde.
 
Are the males of eutylenum all black, or colored like her? I get them confused with Eurypelma Californicum, or maybe I have seen them too many times named incorrectly to confuse me, I don't know which is which and who is who. Also the 2nd Covid shot messed with my memory.

From the photo in the Hamilton et al. paper, it does look like the A. eutylenum mature males are all or mostly black.
