Bolas Spider ID request - Mastophora hutchinsoni - Female
Ojibway Prairie, Essex, Ontario, Canada
August 6, 2017
I don't think I've seen one of these in Ontario before. Maybe they're common and I just don't recognize them--they are pretty good mimics of a bird dropping.
Is it possible to know the species from this image?
(Ojibway Prairie is in Windsor, Ontario)

We would be tempted to say hutchinsoni

Someone may have a Canadian volume to see if it has been recorded from Ontario
