Well, I don't want to complicate this any further for you... but that could be an Avicularia metallica. I asked a friend who has many more Avics than I and they aren't 100% sure either without more pictures, but are leaning towards an A met too. The problem is that with those two species of the Avic genus, flash and ambient light can play so many tricks it's easy to misidentify via photos - it's not all that easy sometimes in person, for that matter.
The hair (setae) all over her body, does it look like it has a white tip up close and personal, or is that just a result of your flash? If they're white tipped then it is more than likely an A metallica. If that was just the flash, A avicularia.![]()
