Tarantula ID Request

What is this sp?? Thank you!
Asian species for sure. I am guessing some sort of Earth Tiger. I know that this is broad but there are many at this size that look the same.
 
Possibly hati hati.....maybe even violaceopes.... Either way it's critical that this animal is on damp substrate, keeping it dry like this will kill it.
 
can you provide a size? I was also thinking possible Juvie male Hati Hati as the females typcially have a brighter carapace and have darker legs.
 
Are asian tarantulas more sexually dimorphic on average? I know that some pokies are but not sure about other species.
 
@Brachyfan Some species are sexually dimorphic by juvenile size. O. violaceopes and sp. Hati Hati for instance are easily dimorphic and the colors are much more bland and brownish with the males and the males tend to be very leggy and not has thick as the females. So a lot of Asian OW T's are similar in this way. Attached are a pic of a male O. violaceopes and my female Hati Hati for reference
