poss. reversum
Note how the carapace goes from gold to black in a smooth gradient.

A reversum isn't always jet black.

Moved for expert attention
Moved from ID Request. If you have any dorsal images showing the entire spider that might help.

Aphonopelma species.

My guess based on the dark color is Aphonopelma reversum.
