Which spider?

Which spider?
Redwood City, San Mateo County, California, USA
March 5, 2008
Size: Approx. 1 cm (minus legs)
This spider was occupying a sheet-type web on a shrub and appeared in response to a small leaf fragment dropped on the web. The spines on the legs made me think of lynx spiders?

Funnel Web Spider
I'm not sure which one, but you could try browsing images here.

Thanks Lynette!
The photos of Hololena look quite similar, but to be honest, a lot of these spiders look kind of similar to me! Perhaps Jeff or another expert can get it to a genus. I'm quite happy to know it's a funnel web spider! Thanks!
