Not certain, but this looks more like
an adult male Hacklemesh weaver to us. Amaurobiidae, in the guide here. We would suggest moving these from Lycosidae back to the ID Request page to see if you can get more info.

Yes, male Amaurobiidae.
The Balabans have the correct ID. Please move image accordingly. Thank you.
