Perhaps?
Tigrosa aspersa. I checked the eye pattern with a loupe, but can't find an image in the guide for Tigrosa to compare it with.

Yes
Tigrosa aspersa. You have no idea how much I thank you for posting that ventral!

The dorsal pattern in combination with the ventral matches T. aspersa.

Thanks!
Since the spider has been identified it's water under the bridge, I uploaded a couple of views of the eye pattern.
