I photographed this guy in the valley just north of the Huachuca's. I think it may be a Dwarf but not sure. Any help would be wonderful.

Sorry you're just not going to get a good answer on this one. It is young and looks like just about every other Aphonopelma at that size. Being that it is from the area you indicated, it could likely be Aphonoplema sp. 'huachuca', that is the dwarf species of the area. It has not yet been formally described and that toxonomy work is beign done right now. Unfortunately we wont likely see the results for a few years.

Thank you guys. I have photos of some different adults from the area as well. Maybe I will post them when I dig them up.
Thank you again,
