P. pius
This individual and the other are P. pius. There are only three species that could have these color scales over the entire dorsum: P. pius, apacheanus, and tyrannus. P. pius is the only one with the pale venter. It would be helpful if you could post the ventral image.

Location
If it didn't originally come from San Francisco, It's best not to put that in the City/Location, County or State fields. If you put anything, put the information on where it was captured (if it was born in captivity, leave those fields blank).
Otherwise, someone might think your spider was representative of
Phidippidus
in the wild in San Francisco, and the automatic maps shown under the Data tab would have wrong information.
