ID me please.

I finally got a really clear picture of my one tarantula that I've not been able to tell what it is.

It's pretty small still (the penny should give you an idea of size). I just can't seem to figure out what this is. Any help would be appreciated. It looks a bit like a G. Rosea in the pic, but looks nothing like my other G. Rosea's.

Looks like my Paraphysa scrofa, AKA chileane copper.

I'm in agreement with Waldo here-Paraphysa scrofa, or at least a Paraphysa of some species. That oddly-shaped mirror patch is a good indicator, even though the pic is too dark for the colors to really show up. Assuming that a Canadian penny and a US penny are the same size, the T's size would be right for P. scrofa, too.

yep a 3rd guess at P.scrofa looks just like 1 to me

Yes, I agree, P scrofa , I have one about the same size, looks just like it. Here's mine

Wonderful. Thanks to all who replied. Unfortunately I have to sell it. I have a baby on the way and I made a deal with my girlfriend that I can keep three of my t's, and I have to get rid of 2.

Yup 100% P.scrofa

P. scrofas are great, they have a really nice coppery color!
