Moved from ID Request. I agree with Jimmy, but let's let Laura have the final say.

I'll let Lynette or Laura decide down to details...
...but from the coloration of the banded legs, the seemingly large size, lack the medial stripes full extension to the end of the cephalothorax, I would say this is a Tigrosa aspersa. Judging from the shape of the abdomen in comparison to the size of the carapace, I would say this is a female T. aspersa.
