A.avic and A.metallica both have somewhat of a blue-green color to them. A.avic has reddish hairs on the abdomen while A.metallica does not. A.avic also has completely pink foot pads while the foot pads of A.metallica are white at the tips. A.avic only gets up to 5 inches while metallica can get close to 7 inches. Hope this helps a little. Yours looks like A.avic to me. I have a picture of an A.metallica in my photo thread and while they do look very similar to the untrained eye, after going back and viewing that pic and then viewing yours again, I still am leaning more towards A.avic for yours.
