Unidentified female

Unidentified female, definately not G.Pulchripes. Can anyone help?
Hi Arienette, but she is so calm? I can handle her with no problem, this is definately not a Haplopelma charactersitic.
 
Looks to be an Acanthoscurria or Vitalius spec. Find someone with a microscope and some knowledge and when it moults, put the moult under the scope and look for a stridulating organ. No, it certainly isnt a Grammostola or similar, as you could tell by the absence of the mirror patch (= type IV urticating hairs). It isnt a E.campestratus either, but Acanothoscurria are close relatives, so good guess.
 
"Hi
From my experience the G.Pulchripes has the original 'mirror' pattern of colour visible on the abdomen, something unique to their look.
This tarantula has no such pattern"

I thought the mirror patch only shows up if the T has been flicking hairs
