ID OF THIS TARANTULA ?

SOLD AS G.PULCHRA
Tarantula sp "brown"

Better lighting would make ID easier. Maybe take the photo in the shade outside.
 
To me this looks very much like a pulchra, admittedly with a rather brownish tint, but that may be the light. The only other alternative I can come up with is adult B. schroederi. How big is it?
 
You can see a part of the urticating hair patch on the abdomen. This doesn't necessarily mean it's G. pulchra, but such patches are very common amongst Grammostola spp.
Although there are sveral species that look similar, I don't see any reason to doubt what the seller labeled it :)
 
I agree, no red flags here, nothing in this picture that tells me it isn't a Grammostola pulchra.
