M. poultoni female. Note the red dorsal midline on the abdomen and compare with the similar M. inclemens which lacks this.

Moved for expert attention

Moved from Spiders. Sorry I accidentally moved it to the spiders page instead of the jumping spider page.

Dorsal shot

I reordered your images to put this one first since it's the main one we look at for IDing spiders. (I reworded your comment as well, so that it still makes sense.) I'm glad you posted the dorsal since even if it's not as clear it is very helpful when IDing spiders.

I think your spider is something in the Maevia genus. Compare with others here.

I'll move it to the jumping spider page to see what the experts think.

Thanks for your tips. When I looked at the page you recommended, I came up with Maevia poultoni. What do you think ? DK

Very Likely

Yes, that looks good to me, but it's best to let one of the experts confirm that.
