Another “pink toe”, as labeled. When I shine a light, its legs reflect blue/green, but otherwise without the light you just see the above with no metallic look. Does that make it a Metallica? I can’t find much info online that tells you the actual differences between the variety of Pinks
In response to your identification request, I would point you to the following thread, which details the defining characteristics of each Avicularia morphotype:
Over the past few years, I have become quite an Aviculariinae enthusiast... and something I have noticed a lot is people inquiring about what species or what morphotype of Avicularia they have. The 2017 revision is very long and difficult to read, and it is not geared towards the casual...

Now, regarding the picture you've posted above, an Avic in a proper setup should NEVER be on the substrate under a half-round log hide. I see that you're new here, so I don't know if you're new to tarantula keeping or just new to keeping Avics, but either way you can look at these threads for good beginner info:
Below are some helpful resources. (Rather than having half a dozen or more pinned threads, which clutter the top of the board, we are pinning this index.) While the focus is on beginners, there are other threads on health and more advanced species that may be useful to more experienced keepers...

And for info specific to caring for Avicularinae (linked in the thread above):
Hi! I'm new to the forum and am unsure if this is the right place for this, but I was wondering if there's anything I should know in advance before purchasing an Avicularia genus? (specifically, I have my eye on some a. metallica slings) I've done some reading, but being that I've only ever had...
this thread will go over what beginners and vets alike should be providing their Avicularia. i find it quite sad that so many Avics are subject to low vent cages and doomed to die. even experienced keepers can have difficulty with them. anyway, there are a few main concepts to keeping Avics that...

That's great. Avics are awesome, I've got quite a few and really enjoy them. Those threads I linked above have really good advice about how to set up an enclosure and keep them healthy. If you get confused about something, the search function is really helpful - but if you can't find an answer to your question, don't hesitate to ask!
You're new alright, that's fine. When you buy an animal, do the research AHEAD of time
As for what morphotype you have, there's only a handful of Avics that can be identified properly with a SINGLE pic, Yours isn't one of them. If you learn why tarantulas produce the colors they are, you'll understand why one pic is not enough. Even many pics is not always enough depending upon the specimen, lighting, camera and so forth.

You can upload photos to something like Photobucket and then post the link here using the picture frame icon. Alternatively, you can post pics as new media here and put the link to this media items using the camera icon:
It is kind of a bummer that you can't post additional pics in a media thread, but I understand why it's prevented. Another option is to start your own gallery thread.
