What species is this help please, read description for hints

Size: 3.5 body length from fangs to spinnerets (leg span not sure).
Location: Wild caught in the foothills of Argentina in the province of Mendoza.
Behavior: fasts for long periods(longest 7 months) very non aggressive easily handled.
My best guess: I think its a Chilean copper.
@JustSomeDude I have no idea, it has no blue whatsoever i have read they acquire the color as adults but this doesn't look like a juvenile but what do i know, my guess is Chilean copper and it has a copper color to it, my description has more info. I had two and they both had a distinctive kidney shaped hair patch in the abdomen maybe that is key to knowing what species it is or do those patches vary a lot in species? dont think peruvian blue zebra have this shaped paches?
 
Mine has the same scruff patch on his butt! Stay tuned that spider you got is gonna grow up into a big beautiful admiral blue tarantula
 
Check the side of the abdomen is there a cream zig zag pattern on the side and undercarriage? That's one beautiful t
 
@JustSomeDude In the video it said that they are good eaters and only stop eating before a molt, but mine regularly fast for a few months and has even fasted for 6 months and it hastes humidity, its not defensive like the video says and i don't think i have even seen her strike anything that isn't a prey item, even tongs and my hand, at most she gets startled and just backs away, has never even attempted to kick hairs either

not sure how should the striped patern should look but i don't think mines has it

here is a video with a Chilean copper...
...are you sure this is not the same species as mine, remember i caught mine in Argentina in the province of Mendoza at the foothills of the Andean mountain range. And the zebra species is from peru if im not mistaken
(if the links don't work let me know)
 
Hey great video by the way! Mine also hates moisture even the slightest misting and it's glassbound for a week! Great temperament as well was listed as hommoemma sp from a reputable sourcehowever I will continue to look into it and keep you posted
 
@JustSomeDude Its not my video, look i'm just saying doesn't it look like a Chilean copper to you? what is difference from my spider? why do you think it's a peruvian blue zebra and not a Chilean copper?
