I usually say "naturalist"
That just makes me think "natural philosopher" - clearly I read too many out-of-copyright novels. Wikipedia redirects it to "natural historian".
"Metaphysical naturalist" is really the correct term. I don't know of any other that adequately expresses the idea, but "metaphysical naturalism" is a concept known only (or mostly) by philosophers, somewhat as "modal realism", for example, isn't a term you're likely to be familiar with unless you're in contact with the right research community (i.e., people who read or know about David Lewis).
