Field Notes

Description:

I found this spider in an AC room, barely moving, probably too cold for an endothermic animal. Some red fluid was oozing from one of its legs. After a few minutes in the sun, it ran away and hid in a crevice. Please help me in identifying th species if possible.

It's a Tarantula! Too bad I am not familiar with identifying tarantulas.
