Without a clear picture of the eyes, eye stalks, large pincher, and left rear walking leg one can only guess. Have you looked at the species ID section in the Crab Care area?

PP's can get very dark as other species, a lot that can effect coloring is diet.

Then I would say Purple pincher, and those are pictures of my Jumbos a few years ago, so this maybe why the legs are bigger.
