I'm not sure these two images are from the same spider
The spider's dorsum in the first image (1024860) looks a lot like A. ferox, but the eye arrangement in the second image (1024863) is way off for that species. When I look closer your first image shows a spider with reddish legs and fairly smooth rounded carapace with little markings. The close-up of the carapace in image two just doesn't match up with image one. The second spider looks like it might be a Trochosa species.

Hacklemesh Weavers
The markings on the abdomen look identical. Thank you. I guess with 97 species to choose from (according to the guide) and such an indistinct photo this is the best ID possible. Again, thank you. :)
