Sorry
I need a dorsal shot.

 
Only pic I have
but I would have called it dorsal.

 
Your picture is of the
Spider's underside which is the ventral view.

 
Weird
The spider was on the bottom of the pot and the photo is being taken through the top. So it must have been flipped to begin with but it was walking around like this...I can see what you are talking about though now I look at the image really closely so I'm confused...

Someone else's image if that helps http://static.inaturalist.org/photos/2302423/large.JPG?1440444026 which I suppose means it is Castianeira.

 
Yep
either that or Micaria. They can be tough to separate sometimes.

 
Sorry for doubting you Lynette
I'm still not sure how I got this as the only good picture, I never intended to photograph the venter at all. However, I did find another picture I took of the spider which is definitely the dorsal...this time I actually promise :)

If only I accidentally photographed the underside of the Titiotus! It would have been awesome to work out which of the species it was, given they are all apparently endemic to that area besides shantzi.
