Picked up this guy the other day to replace my A. Aculeatus, any ideas on ID?

This is the best I can describe it. Tomorrow morning I will try to get a pic with something in the frame for sizing. The shop that I got it at just got a Hawaii shipment in so I'm kinda thinking bimac?

I noticed Lmecher refers to el diablo as O.vulgaris in the thread title but later in many posts says O.briareus, so which was it? It almost touched me yesterday while feeding, it would reach out towards my hand then jet away and repeat, hopefully as it gets more comfortable it will interact more.
