I don't think so, can you post a more clear photo?

Some of the photos you're comparing to may not be what's considered A. metallica either.

Problem is, in most cases, restricting airflow and increasing humidity causes problems. I just find it to be totally unneccesary. (Though there are expceptions)

With an A. avicularia of that size you can easily keep the substrate 100% dry, keep the water dish full, and promote maximum ventilation.

My exact thoughts, can't agree more. Good ventilation, full clean water dish/bowl and occasional mist if you feel like it. They don't *need* the high humidity to thrive.

With all the avics I'm keeping, only A. purpurea seem to dehydrate easier. Others are very tolerant even if I forget to water them for a long time.
