Ultimate Joe is correct, the Mirkwood elves are not Avari.

The only possible Avari [ and this is noteven likely] in the Legendarium is the mysterious community of Elves of Dorthonion.

There is nothing to lead us too suspect they were Avari, just no evidence thwe other way.

All we know about them is that their trading partners were the Mirkwood Elves.

They are more than likely Sylvan [ i.e. Nandorin] Elves also, but possibly the westernmost edge of the Avari or some sort of Avari-Sylvan blend.
