I'll check through my images of this spider again as I did take a few more shots and may have a face-on shot. Will let you know if I do. I guess I can only upload one image, so I'll email you another if I find it.

Nice find, Bev! This image nicely shows the wide, white band between the eyes on the side of the carapace and its lower margin. Next time you see a male, try and get a face-on shot so we can show everyone what they look like from that angle.
