P. murinus is very wide spread within Africa, coming from over 10 different countries. Its also known to have regional colour differences. In the hobby we often see Red Colour Form (OBT), Typical Colour Form (Starburst Baboon) and Dark Form. It could be that you have the latter.
Darkening of the abdomen - a round black spot similar to a jewish cap, is a sign of an upcoming moult. I haven't noticed this on OBT, but I have noticed some Avics turning dark prior to a moult, specifically A. versicolor
