L. parahybana?

I’ve got a friend who is rehoming some of her tarantulas to me but she’s not 100% sure on the species for this one. She was sold as a Goliath bird eater, but we’re thinking maybe L. parahybana? Just wanna get a second opinion, thanks in advance!
Personally, I don’t think LP. Not ‘salmon pink’ hairs on this T, more purple, and only on extremities.
My LP has pink hair everywhere.

Nice T though. Give it a good feed! :D
 
Done a bit of digging and wonder if it’s L.klugi

“L. klugi however has darker red hairs on its abdomen and has a heavier and thicker build than L. parahybana.” Wikipedia.
 
It's not a Lasiodora species. Looks to me like it could be a freshly molted T. stirmi.
hi! owner here~ she did indeed just molt when I took that pic but she looked so dark and different from the previous coloring that it threw me off. can provide more pics if needed, but when I looked up L parahybana on google, their pics looked the same.

This is 100% NO LP.
Do you have a photo before the molt
