Craigslist Pokie
Sold as P. ornata, a couple other members expressed doubt that it was one, so I would like your opinions.
You could try posting a ventral pic. The yellow pattern on the front legs are an identification characteristic with pokies.
 
How large is this alleged ornata person? Lovely, regardless of species!
 
Yeah, whoops sorry. I tend to refer to all creatures as persons. I picked up this tendency from my Australian friend who rescues bats and is always referring to this or that little person.

She looks like an ornata to me. I'm certainly no pokey expert, but wouldn't a regalis have a lot more white on her at that size? She seems to have lots of lovely purples. Beautiful spider. Jealous me!
 
Beautiful species. I hope it didn't spoil any breeding plans for it not to be what you thought it was.
