I am not great with avics but I have kept purpurea and your t looks nothing like one, purpurea are a deep metallic purple from about 2 inches and silver with black stripes before that how big is your t ? That would help with determination of species.
I agree that it looks more like A. merianae that purpurea, but the flash/lighting I think makes it hard to be sure. If you could take a pic with more natural lighting it might help. For comparison:
What size is yours? Still looks fairly young as abdomen pattern still visible.
Deffo not purpurea and if merianae thats a great find as they are hard to find.
Natural lighting would be best as could also be:
A. Variegata
A. Rufa
The above also have the more greener colouration to them too
Here is my Avicularia merianae for comparison (large juvie female)
If she is big enough to drop a sac then she definitely isn't a purpurea she would have full purple by now if she was. Sorry. She's definitely an avic just not purpurea.
