Brachypelma Auratum AF?

I bought her here as a adult confirmed female from a popular private seller but I really doubt this is a female.

Please share your comments and let me know what sex you think this is. Thanks much!
That's a strange bald spot. It almost looks like someone tried to shave off the epiandrous fusillae. The absence of hair in that area makes it difficult to sex ventrally.
 
@Ranitomeya I totally agree with you. There's no way to tell right now....it's even hard to tell with the "shape" of the furrow due to absence of setae. I couldn't even guess on this one and brachy's are my thing, lol.....
 
I will say this....those top two book lungs look like they are a good distance away from each other. That indicates female.....
 
Seriously about the shaving thing.....did you do that? Or was it like that when you bought it? Who shaves a tarantula, lol?
 
Female, I suppose theres something wrong with uterus externus or spermathecae.
