This sling was sold to me about half this size sometime last year... Probably around a year ago even at least.... It only just molted a day or two ago I suppose...
But I can really see color now... This was sold to me as a red knee. B. smithi I assumed of course by that name.
I paid $40 for the little sucker too if only that it was a B. smithi I didn't have to ship and wait for and that's rare here...
However I now think this looks clear as day like a B. vagans no? The abdomen has red hairs and the carapace is outlined red... But that's it really... Unless it colors in more in the next couple days... But should a B. smithi sling be so dark? Shouldn't it look a little more... Striped by now?
I'm thinking I paid way too much for one of the 2 most common brachys... Not that I won't enjoy the spider... But it is a little disappointing still to find out if wasn't what I wanted and expected all along.

One with flash, one without.
Spider is about a good half inch at least.
Maybe a little bigger... Not yet an inch
Typical small round side dish/salad deli container for a home
