Labeled as Brachypelma klaasi, but thinking I got ripped off and is a Brachypelma emilia (which I have 2). Only about 1" but recently moulted.

Thoughts?
Looking at this a little more, it may actually be klaasi. The presence of red on the patella is found in B. klaasi and not B. emilia. Both species have darker triangle-shaped areas on the carapace as slings and juveniles, but it will eventually turn into a completely dark carapace on B. klaasi. See this document for reference (pages 48 & 49 for B. emilia; pages 54 & 55 for B. klaasi):
