Adult Female!
Hello Lon & Enriqueta, the brownish coloration of this spider is interesting and it may be a character that helps someone to ID this submission down to the species level someday, but I'm not sure about this, sorry. Also, the female-shaped palps are more easily visible in the second image. I'm convinced that this is an adult female of the genus! Thanks

Moved
Moved from ID Request. The thickened front tibia are a great clue for this genus.
