Hogna aspersa
is more likely. In general Hogna helluo is supposed to be a lighter color with more pattern on the carapace.

helluo/georgicola
This one looks like it has a full carapace stripe and there's almost no banding on the legs so I don't think it's T. aspersa. What do you think on this one now that we're more familiar with them? I'm leaning leaning T. helluo but there's some faint banding.
