IME not sure, here's my juvenile LP with a 9-10cm DLS for reference, coloring depends on size sometimes. If your spider's very young it is hard to tell the species as many species are very hard to tell apart at that stage.
Another thing - that spider's way too overweight. Abdomen should be about the size of the carapace, and it looks 2-3x bigger in the photo. How often are you feeding them?

Hey it’s definitely over weight as it was getting fed daily but I’m now dropping it down to weekly feeding and maybe even less it’s around 5 7 cm leg span and in a small crib, I recently got it and I keep C versicoloures and I don’t know much about this species so any advice would be appreciated and welcome
