Male trapdoor spider.
This is a male trapdoor spider, probably genus Ummidia. Great image!

Thanks Eric
I'll let the ranger know of your compliment. I was leaning towards Ummidia, I just wished I knew more about the genus.

You're welcome.
Specimens of Ummidia have a saddle-like depression on the third leg, just below the "knee." It is a very conspicuous field mark, but not always obvious in images.
