Hogna baltimoriana - male

Hogna baltimoriana - Male
Victoria, Victoria County, Texas, USA
December 19, 2012
Size: 17-18 mm
I'm tempted to call it Hogna baltimoriana, based on , but I am not sure.
I measured the legspan in one pictures: 55 mm.
He came at night, from garden / lawn on sidewalk.
I do not know if he was attracted or not by light. But he came into the lighted area and stopped.
I take ​ some pictures (using flash), and I collected it, to try to take ventral pictures.
I set him free after that. Latest photos are take during day time (using flash) after I set him free.
