i own 0.2 B. hamorii (ex. smithi) that both look slightly different to each other and honestly i would say you can tell a B. smithi (at least the phenotype that is in the hobby) from a B. hamorii, but it is honestly more a good guess than a real identification
have you seen the documentary about the genus Brachypelma by Andrew Smith, the arachnologist that described the some of the species? As well as some of Guy Tansley's footage from the same trip in mexico?
After that i was stunned how much overlap there is in terms of looks that i have lost all confidence in ever telling them apart. Cudos to those that haven't.

If you think that's bad, don't look at the Marxi or Paloma species group of Aphonopelma lol. Coordinates of collection and a good micrometer almost become a necessity to ID them lol.
