What species of Avic is this?

Hi

I bought this (young) spider at a pet store about a month ago. While it clearly seems to be a pink toe, I do not believe that it is an Avicularia Avicularia (as I was told) primarily due to the stripes on its back. (Ref. picture)

I did some research and concluded it might be an Avicularia Taunayi (Brazil).

What is your guess/conclusion?

Note: This is my first Tarantula!

Unfortunately you aren’t likely to get a definite ID from photo with Avics.

It looks to be a juvenile Avicularia avicularia to me (they have the patterns on abdomen before they mature). I’m about 95% sure. It is also the species most likely to be sold at pet shops.

For the record, it definitely isn’t A. taunyani.
