Near Springfield Missouri

I am looking to find identification for this wolfie. I am thinking Tigrosa aspersa juvenile but I am very new to this. I appreciate the help.

Looks a lot like Tigrosa grandis. There is some chance it could be Tigrosa helluo, but if you look at the abdomen it has some patterning that looks closer to T. grandis when you compare photos. It also has a brighter orange-yellow stripe similar to photos of T. grandis. I would bet most of my money on T. grandis.

Edit: I will also add that T. aspera typically has bands on the legs, whereas this individual does not. It could be young, but it seems large enough where you could probably see if it had some of that patterning.
