Brachypelma something?

I've heard it could be a smithi, auratum, or Emilia. your thoughts?
Wow that's strange, it's got the emilia triangle but the auratum knees o_O I would go with emilia though, the knees might just be that colour because of the picture, but the triangle is definitely there
 
I agree its B. auratum. Coloration of the carapace can vary a bit with Brachypelma, but this has all the leg markings of B. auratum, not emilia.

Later, Tom
 
I have b.smithi about that size and it looks just like that I vote on b.smithi I think they keep the triangle as sling but they grow out of it
 
It's a very young B.auratum. If I can assume according to what I observed on my smithi, the what I might call smithi-type carapace (prevalent black) starts off as the lightly colored emilia-esque V, and progressively fills up with black with every moult.
