Yes it is molting so leave it alone 
The species doesn't really matter. A molting tarantula will normally block off its hide regardless. Sometimes certain species like Brachypelma, Grammastola ,and Aphonopelma will molt out in the open when larger.
Not to sound rude, but did you read any books or articles on tarantula care? Every book has a chapter on molting [emoji14] Again not trying to be a smart ass, it's just that this is really basic stuff. Even when I got my first tarantula when I was 10, I knew what a molting tarantula looked like [emoji14]
