Is this a minatrix? [2/2]

It molted out and is now a darker colorI posted a photo today and thought maybe this premolt picture might help a little!
Maybe A. minatrix? But i the pattern doesn’t look exactly right to me. Maybe its a juvie coloration? I am not sure and just guessing.
 
The markings on the abdomen are wrong for minatrix. Not all the abdomen markings are identical and those don't look like a minatrix to me. A.minatrix have the horizontal lines going right across, even as smaller individuals.
A.minatrix is very small - they top out at about 3-3.5" for adult females. What size is this one?
 
@Vanessa I thought the stripes seemed wrong for minatrix, just looked like it had more orange than i am used to seeing on my other avics.

After seing the Post molt pic @The Grym Reaper added, i its clearly not minatrix. :bag::bag:
 
Do you think it could be a Avicularia braunshauseni I’ve been looking at pictures and may think so but am not sure.
 
I've owned several- that's not minatrix. Only minatrix has really distinctive tiger bar markings on the abdomen. No other Avic stands out like minatrix in that area. They keep it into adulthood as well. My AF has hers, they all do.
 
@Yaylor Age and size of that one? I've owned the Goliath Pink Toe, they are definitely larger than other Avics as slings IME. That doesn't look like any of the ones I've owned as slings.
