Was lucky enough to receive a giant load of spiders for free today. None of them were marked, but there was an (incorrect) list. Very unsure about this one.
Keep in mind, I may be the least likely person on AB to jump to hybrid.....
A lot of these ts you received will likely never be properly identified, so just keep that in mind and dont breed anything that's the least bit questionable.
If you dont breed them, its a non-issue.
In the future if you examine molts, and find a female, the spermatheca may give you an idea of the species...males, once they mature, could possibly be identified by their palpal bulbs.

Thanks for the reply! I do not expect any hybrids, but as you already mentioned I only breed tarantulas of which the species is certain. All of the tarantulas have been purchased from shows (I know exactly where everything came from), but they are just badly documented on. There was also a B. smithi in the lot, which I rapidly saw was actually a B. hamorii.
Just to add to all of this, the following picture is of the same tarantula:
