Labeled "Malaysian Earth Tiger"

Was received as a maylasian earth tiger but I'm having doubts now. Any input would be appreciated.
Either Phormingochilus arboricola or Lampropelma nigerrimum
I agree, but I thought the purple tones were a determining characteristic between the two species, making this L. nigerrimum. My understanding, perhaps incorrect, is that P. arboricola remains much more black in appearance.

Either way, definitely not Omothymus schioedtei.
 
My P. arboricola have a bit of purple, but only on the femurs. I think you’re right about L. nigerrimum having more purple
