The setae structure points to M#6 aka hobby "metallica". A consistant characteristic that is far more useful for identification purposes than color, which commonly varies for many different reasons. Therefore, guesses based on color alone should be taken with a grain of salt, as it's supportive evidence at best.
Hobby "braunshauseni" lack the very grizzled (thick, white tipped) leg setae of M#6 (metallica) and your specimen has the classic grizzled look, thus I don't believe that is a hobby 'braunshauseni', if it is at all. It's a hybrid or different locality of sorts. Short story long... I wouldn't breed this specimen, unfortunately.
