Moved for the experts
Moved from ID Request. Definitely a male Pholcus, and either P. manueli or P. phalangioides. Do you have any ventral perspectives?

Unfortunately no
I have a different posterior view (from above & behind) but I don't think that'll give you what you need.
If you like, I'll post it

Won't hurt
If the sternum is dark, it is P. manueli.

Thank you
...but I don't have a shot of that.
This type of spider always groups in my wheelbarrow. Next time they do, I'll see if I can check that.

I think so
I think you definitely have the right genus!
