Tried to post a comment earlier but it seems I was unsuccessful lol, still a little new here. Found her in my backyard, small brown tarantula, only about 4 inches in leg span. Not sure of sex but I think it’s a female Aphonopelma Hentzi
 
A closer picture would help a lot. Not sure if I'm seeing black legs or shadows. Also where the pic was taken would help. But I think Aphonopelma hentzi is a good guess given what I can make out.

Her legs are black, with beautiful red/orange hairs on them, I actually thought she was a chilean rose hair at first because the red hairs are all over her body, but I’m pretty sure some aphonopelmas get red hair like that too

Still, where are you located or where in the world was the picture taken? If you are in South America than Gramastola rosea would be more likely but with black legs and what appears to be a light colored carapace, I'd still think Aphonopelma hentzi is more likely. Their coloration can vary to a degree but here's a good example of what you described and it is an A. hentzi
