Just from other photos. I have other, and seen others, that look similar.
Such as

However, Maevia inclemens looks similar also but the abdominal markings look a little different to me.

You guys know I'm not an expert and if I have made an error then I apologize. But, if so, please let me know which is correct and why (so I can learn....hopefully :-)

The second image you mention

The second image you mention fits well with Barne's (1958) description of M. formosa: "First legs brown ... remaining legs straw yellow ... first pair of legs at least twice as heavy as remaining legs". The abdominal medial stripe is also rather close to his drawing -- notice that the pattern is widest in the posterior half.

I don't know my jumping spiders that well, but I would tend to agree with John and Jane's proposal: Maevia (inclemens)
