Avicularia variegata?

Avicularia variegata?

Was given to me by a petstore that was closing. They said it’s Avicularia variegata, but it was also being kept terrestrially. Just wanted a second opinion.
It was sold to me as A. metallica.
I suppose people can learn a lot from this thread and that's a positive.
 
As I said in my first post , it's pretty much impossible to tell what species they are until they have adult colors. Even then differentiating avics is not that easy .

There's no reason to believe that you don't have what you paid for....at least not yet.

You're not identifying them by abdomen patterns, that's for sure.
 
Looks like any of the more common Avics to me, A. variegata develop white banding on the last two joints of the legs at around 1.5" to 2", pics of my 2 below.
