Spider ID request - Antrodiaetus montanus

From Rod Crawford:

A. montanus would be my best guess. The unmodified first metatarsus rules out pugnax and hageni, which leaves pacificus and montanus (and something unknown). The leg segment proportions support montanus, as far as I can tell. A top or inside view of the front tibia would have helped, as I can't see the male spine group too clearly in these images. It looks a bit slender for montanus, but then I've only seen a couple of adult males.

Spiders measurement does not include the legs. If you still have the spider can you give us a measurement in mm?

A. montanus?

I'm thinking this is A. montanus. The new tibia shot should rule out some of the species. Based on images here...

... I think A. occultus is dark.

Just for confirmation, any chance of getting a shot of the first leg tibia from the other side? That is, the inner face of it. As low an angle as possible would be great. :)

New shot

Unfortunately the leg is out of focus... I'm still thinking what we can see of the tibia/metatarsus shape and setae distribution matches A. montanus best, but would like to wait for a second opinion. See figures here:

A. montanus

I hope you're right. It would be a great new addition to the guide. I'll email Rod and see what he thinks.

Two other spiders identical to this one with the same light coloration have been seen in the area where this one was collected.

This is a harmless male Mygalomorph. I'd guess it's something like

Your specimen is more lightly colored, so I'm not sure if that's due to molting or if it's the other species found in the area? A good view of the first tibia (leg one) from the side would help be certain.

Antrodiaetus

Looks like a male Antrodiaetus to me too. A. montanus is light I think. There are a couple others on the WA checklist that I'm not sure about, like A. hageni.
